The tracks travel onto the Homer M. Hadley Memorial Bridge, a floating bridge that will be renovated to accommodate light rail, towards Mercer Island.
This is outdated: the bridge has already been modified for rail and 2 Line trains began carrying passengers across it on March 28, 2026.
Full reasoning
By March 2026, this was no longer a future project. Sound Transit’s official March 28, 2026 announcement says the Crosslake Connection opened that day, with light rail vehicles carrying passengers across a floating bridge for the first time. Sound Transit’s East Link project summary likewise says Link 2 Line service across Lake Washington began Saturday, March 28 and that the Seattle-to-Eastside remainder of East Link opened that same day. Because trains are already operating across the Homer M. Hadley Memorial Bridge, describing it as a bridge that “will be renovated” for light rail is no longer accurate.

The Crosslake Connection is now open! Link 2 Line service across Lake Washington began Saturday, March 28... The remainder of East Link, connecting the Eastside to the 1 Line in Seattle, opened on March 28, 2026.
The Downtown Redmond Extension will continue along State Route 520 towards downtown Redmond, stopping at a station northeast of Marymoor Park. The extension then turns west, crossing under the freeway, and terminates at Downtown Redmond station near the intersection of Cleveland Street and 166th Avenue Northeast.
This extension is no longer future work: Downtown Redmond and Marymoor Village opened on May 10, 2025, and Downtown Redmond is already the 2 Line’s terminal.
Full reasoning
Sound Transit officially opened the Downtown Redmond Link Extension on May 10, 2025. In its opening announcement, the agency says the 3.4-mile extension of the 2 Line includes stations at Marymoor Village and Downtown Redmond and explicitly states that Downtown Redmond Station is the final stop on the 2 Line. Because that extension is already in service, describing it as something that “will continue” and “terminates” in the future is outdated and inaccurate.
