Construction is well underway along Montlake Boulevard near Husky Stadium for the new UW Light Rail Station, which is the 3.15-mile extension of light rail from downtown Seattle to the University of Washington.
This month, a Sound Transit contractor has been installing geotechnical monitoring devices in the sidewalk on the east side of Montlake Boulevard between NE Pacific Street and NE Pacific Place and it should be completed by end of this month.
Also going on at the same time, Sound Transit’s contractor has been working on widening the sidewalk to make it safer for bicyclists and cyclists.
Also this month the contractor is creating a new truck access and modifying the Pacific Street intersection along Montlake Blvd.
A temporary sidewalk has been established using concrete barriers to separate the pedestrian/bicyclist from automotive traffic.
By April, the contractor will be completing the access road around the site, and moving the work zone into other locations of the Husky Stadium parking lot.
Construction will continue over the next six years with passenger service scheduled to begin in 2016.
