Crews discovered loose and broken tiles on the South Bellevue station passenger platform, according to a spokesperson.
Another contractor has now stepped in to finish the project, and Cunningham says Sound Transit plans to seek compensation from Shimmick-Parsons to reimburse transit taxpayers for the added costs. According to Thursday’s transit report, Shimmick-Parsons “disagrees with Sound Transit’s determination of defective work and refuses to complete the necessary repairs.”This is the latest in a series of setbacks for the $3.
Multiple sections have required additional work, most notably the 5,455 flawed concrete track supports, known as plinths, which were discovered in 2022. It required Sound Transit to rip up around 4 miles of track and rebuild the plinths in the former express lanes of I-90.of the eight stations that form a “starter line” east of Lake Washington. It’s estimated to carry around 6,000 passengers daily, with trains running every ten minutes between South Bellevue and Redmond.
Sound Transit says if weather permits, the tile replacement at the South Bellevue station should be installed by January or early February, in time for the planned Spring 2024 opening.
