To fulfill a voter measure passed in 2008, Sound Transit has awarded through a competitive procurement, its construction management services contract for East Link’s light rail Bellevue Segment to HDR. Voters approved the measure to construct and operate a light rail transit system in the Puget Sound region.
East Link will expand upon a 21st century public transit system in the northwest and offer a fast and reliable alternative to rising congestion. The Bellevue Segment will provide an additional five miles of rail service, connecting the central business district to the high tech sector of the Eastside communities. The project is expected to open in 2023. HDR services will include construction project oversight, quality verification, project controls and scheduling expertise monitoring, field inspection, commissioning, regulation compliance and independent cost estimating.
