From Mike Lindblom at the Seattle Times:
Contractors are inside Sound Transit’s one-mile Beacon Hill tunnel around the clock, preparing the underground station for train testing by May, and a July grand opening for service from downtown Seattle to Tukwila.
Four elevators were recently installed, to carry passengers 165 feet to the boarding platforms, from the entrance along Beacon Avenue South at South Lander Street.
The tubular ceiling over the trackway was painted midnight blue, and multicolored sculptures, titled “Space Forms,” will glow overhead. About 200 people were working intently Monday afternoon, sidestepping cords, supplies — and each other.
Due to heavy construction, McClellan isn’t the quickest way up the hill these days. Photo/do communications, inc.
Who to know, where to eat & what to do in one of America’s most diverse zip codes!
