Upcoming planned closures on the 1 Line light rail
Sound Transit will suspend 1 Line service starting Nov. 8 between U District and Westlake for maintenance until 2 p. m. , with bus replacements provided. On Nov.
16, service will again be interrupted between Capitol Hill and Stadium to replace a cracked rail. The following weekend, from Nov. 18-20, and on Dec. 2-4, early closures will allow for expanded overnight maintenance. Additionally, from Dec.
12-28, nighttime suspensions will occur for advanced signaling installation in the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel. This work aims to enhance system reliability and is part of a larger effort that will continue through January 2026. Passengers should prepare for delays and plan their trips accordingly. Sound Transit encourages riders to sign up for automatic email alerts to stay informed on service changes and updates. These alerts provide essential information to help riders navigate potential disruptions effectively.
