Riders need to prepare for Link service disruptions Jan. 13 to Feb. 4

Map of Link 1 Line Bus Shuttle [ [link removed] ]

Link light rail passengers should prepare for three weeks of disruptions starting* Saturday, January 13 through end of service Sunday, February 4* as Sound Transit undertakes several projects to improve service.

*Trains will run less frequently on weekdays and shuttle buses will replace Link between Capitol Hill and SODO stations on weekends.*

**
-Weekends: **during this period, trains will run *every 15 minutes between Northgate–Capitol Hill and between SODO–Angle Lake*. Bus shuttles every 10-15 minutes will replace trains between Capitol Hill–SODO and serve all closed stations.

**-Weekdays:**1 Line trains will run only every 26 minutes between Northgate and Angle Lake. Additional weekday trains will run between Northgate–University of Washington, and between Stadium–Angle Lake, for combined service every 13 minutes in these areas.

Maps of Alternate Transit Routes Serving 1 Line Stations Jan 13 - Feb 4 Weekdays [ [link removed] ]

*
-Stay alert:* During weekdays, passengers who board at stations outside of Capitol Hill or downtown Seattle will need to stay alert to which train they choose. Half of the trains will serve all stations along the 1 Line, while the other half will terminate at either University of Washington or Stadium stations. If your destination is downtown or Capitol Hill, you may wait for the full-service train, or ride the additional service train to UW or Stadium stations, and then wait 13 minutes to transfer to the next train that goes all the way through.

The work is essential to improve the state of the system and prepare for the growth that is coming later this year and beyond. By scheduling these projects during the time of year when ridership is at its lowest, the hope is to limit impact on riders. Staff will be at stations throughout the disruption to answer questions and help passengers get to their destinations.
