Another construction setback for Tacoma Link extension.
Sep. 30—The Hilltop Tacoma Link Extension construction project hit another hiccup this month.
The project to lengthen the Tacoma Link to Stadium District and Hilltop has been delayed twice previously.
Sound Transit's expansion construction shut down several blocks of Commerce Street starting Aug. 1. The intersection at South 9th and Commerce streets reopened on schedule Sept. 17, but the South 7th intersection remained closed due to a construction issue.
While completing final systems-testing for the project, areas of stray electrical current were found under a segment of newly installed track, which could cause corrosion of nearby underground utilities and other infrastructure but is not a hazard. Sound Transit contractors returned to the tracks to find the source of the current.
