Looking back:  Sound Transit contractor crews have been hard at work on the Bel-Red/130th Station segment. In 2018, this mile-long section of East Link has completed a number of underground utility milestones to prepare for construction above ground this year.

Over the last year, construction activities largely focused on aerial guideway construction and building or updating underground utility systems. This includes the relocating existing services like sewer, telecommunications, gas and power. 

Below are a few milestones from 2018:

• All 44 girders for the aerial guideway were set in the summer of 2018.
• Crews installed Approximately two miles of storm drainage and 1.5 miles of water systems, and seven precast water quality vaults.
• Crews excavated a 40-foot deep sanitary sewer replacement at 130th Avenue Northeast.
