Seattle's regional growth in the job market, housing and companies expanding created a traffic nightmare commuters and drivers. Recent tolls and changes on SR 520 and I 405 added more congestion to the new configured lanes. The Sound Transit extension will be opening the Husky Stadium and Capitol Hill Links in early 2016.
Husky Stadium, Sound Transit's University of Washington Station will provide easy regional access to campus, UW Medical Center, other Husky athletic sites and surrounding neighborhoods. A new pedestrian bridge allows walkers and bikers to avoid traffic and will alleviate congestion by directly connecting the station to the upper campus and Burke-Gilman trail.
This new addition will be easier for football fans and students to ride quickly and not worry about parking at the events. It will connect the University of Washington and Capitol Hill to existing light rail service from downtown Seattle to the airport without the addition traffic jams on the freeways.
Riders will board trains underground. Ride to downtown Seattle fromthe new Husky Stadium link in 8 minutes or to the airport in about 42 minutes. A great mode of transportation and quickest way to get around the city once the project is completed.
