Friday, November 6, Brenda, one of the machines digging tunnels for the Northgate Link light rail extension, broke through to the future U District Station.
Brenda began digging in July 2014 from the Maple Leaf Portal just south of Northgate Mall and broke through the future Roosevelt Station last March before re-launching towards the U District Station. It will now undergo maintenance at the U District station site before continuing south and connecting with the University of Washington Station, which opens with University Link first quarter next year.
You can view this morning's breakthrough here.
A second machine, named “Pamela,” launched from the Maple Leaf Portal last November and is expected to arrive at the U District site early next year.
The 4.3-mile Northgate Link Extension will connect the University of Washington Station at Husky Stadium to underground stations in the U District and Roosevelt neighborhoods and to an elevated station at Northgate. Once trains are running, passengers will have a dependable 14-minute ride from Northgate all the way to downtown Seattle.
