SEATTLE - Riders planning to take link light rail this weekend and for the next few weeks, should prepare for delays as crews start maintenance work on parts of its tracks.
Sound Transit said the track at Royal Brougham needs to be reconstructed due to underlying soil conditions which is causing the elevation of the alignment to sink. Royal Brougham Way will be closed to vehicles from Aug. 9-20, but the crossing will remain open for pedestrians and bicyclist.
There will be two service disruptions from August into September.
Track repair work at S. Royal Brougham Way from Saturday, Aug. 12 -Sunday, Aug. 20
