Crosslake Connection completes 2 Line, uniting Eastside and Seattle by rail

TL;DR Summary
Sound Transit will open the Crosslake Connection on March 28, completing the 2 Line and linking Redmond to Lynnwood with new Mercer Island and Judkins Park stations, using the floating I-90 bridge to connect the Eastside and Seattle and integrating with the 1 Line at International District/Chinatown. The expanded system will reach 63 miles of light rail, with frequent peak service and closely spaced headways on the busiest stretch, after years of delays and budget overruns; additional opening details will be announced as the date approaches.
