** Lynnwood Link construction to close I-5 lanes as light rail nears

Lynnwood, WA** Local News

The upcoming lane closure on southbound I-5 in Lynnwood is expected to cause traffic delays from Monday evening through Wednesday morning, coinciding with the construction of the Lynnwood Link extension. This major $1. 2 billion infrastructure project is in its final stages, with Sound Transit beginning pre-revenue service to help train operators familiarize themselves with the new route. The lane closure will specifically impact the right lane between the 44th Avenue W on-ramp and 220th Street SW, urging commuters to plan alternate routes. The Lynnwood Link service is set to launch on August 30, marking a significant milestone for public transportation in the region.

To enhance commuter convenience, ORCA cards can now be managed through Google Wallet, allowing Android users to store their transit cards digitally. This feature aims to streamline the payment process for riders, with organizations determining how to convert physical cards to digital ones. Overall, these developments signal a progressive step toward improving local transit infrastructure.
