Tacoma Link to reopen on July 1 – The Suburban Times

Crews are working carefully in the extreme heat and will take a little longer to complete the cutover track installation on E. 25th Street. Therefore, Tacoma Link will reopen on July 1. In the meantime, passengers can ride a free shuttle bus to all the Tacoma Link stations. Thank you for your patience and stay cool!

Crews completed the stormwater work in the S. 9th St. and Commerce St. intersection. The contractor discovered an old steam pipe on Commerce St., and is removing contaminated material. Then, crews will continue installing the stormwater system on Commerce St. from S. 9th St. to S. 7th St. In addition, crews are installing track, electrical systems, and the Old City Hall Station on Commerce Street.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Way, crews are completing the curb and gutter work on the east side of Martin Luther King Jr. Way from S. 19th St. to S. 16th St., and will move to the area between S. 16th St. and S. 13th St. as soon as tomorrow, June 29. In addition, crews are installing signals at the S. 11th St. and MLK Jr. Way intersection. On Division Avenue, crews are installing signals from Yakima Avenue to MLK Jr. Way.

Looking ahead, the contractor plans to install signals in the MLK Jr. Way and 6th Avenue intersection and track in the Stadium Way and Division Avenue intersection in mid-July. Crews will not be working during the 4th of July weekend. Happy 4th of July!
