Bellevue-Redmond 2 Line premiere raises questions about Seattle connection timeline
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 апр 2024
- The Bellevue-Redmond 2 Line will open on Saturday, April 27 with fresh questions about when it will ever connect with Seattle.
The link line comes 16 years after voters approved a ballot measure for light rail to the Eastside, but it is not what Sound Transit originally promised.
The line was originally expected to open at the same time as a cross-lake connection to Seattle. However, a contractor for Sound Transit has had to re-do thousands of concrete blocks for the train service, meaning starting over from scratch.

16 YEARS AGO?! Seattle trains agency is light-speed!
Not to bad mouth anyone but since the days we paid bonus' for finishing large scale projects ahead of time things like this have never concluded "on time"
Your Sinclair politics are showing Komo. Could this be any more negative a tilt? What a great day this was and you just puke all over it with this negative crap. Thousands were there enjoying it.
When you say Redmond I was thinking of downtown, not Overlake.. Crossing 148th from one side to the other is Bellevue to Redmond.
Damn 16 years 🤣🤣🤣
Faster than Los Angeles their Subway is 30 years late
Wow! Sounds like the same people who built BART! I wish VTA looked that nice, tho!
Who should pay…. The contractor who screwed up on the concrete blocks.. seems like that happens a lot around Seattle roadwork or anything else contractors are always behind schedule because they screw stuff up.
Jeez. Infrastructure is not a thing in America anymore. 😢
Get a Chinese construction company to do the job, they can clean up the I-90 mess in a few months, at a fraction of the cost, at the same (or better?) quality.
I just wait for the day when the outrageous tab fee is gone.
We are ahead of schedule...the completion date is scheduled for 2030.
@@andrewzheng4038that's a Nationwide problem
This is incorrect. East link was slated to be completed in 2023
LOL 16 YEARS
Train to nowhere billions over budget government inept 😂 no one held accountable sounds like everything governor does
This implies that Bellevue is nowhere even though it’s a city?
I don't believe this project was over budget...
yawn, what a NIMBY comment, too bad it'll be here long after you're gone.
At least link line 2 is opened
@harry_allen if you count the base of operations as part of the 2 line budget, it's actually 40 million dollars over budget.
The STUPIDITY of Sound Transit Management is Absolutely Unbelievable !!! The taxpayers should NOT have to pay for THEIR mistakes, but we WILL !!!
