The NTSP team will perform systems construction management services for the US$3.7 billion East Link Extension, a 14-mile-long extension connecting Seattle, Mercer Island, Bellevue and Redmond; and the US$1.9 billion 4.3-mile Northgate Link Extension between the University of Washington at Husky Stadium, the University District and the Northgate area. Both extensions are key components of a larger system expansion being undertaken by Sound Transit over the next 25 years.
Sound Transit estimates that at least 50,000 people a day will use East Link by 2030. Once completed, the extension will be the world’s only passenger light rail service operating over a floating bridge, the section of I-90 over Lake Washington connecting Mercer Island and Seattle.
