The Board of Directors of Sound Transit, the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority, has awarded a $93 million contract to Max J. Kuney Company for the construction of the Bel-Red/130th Station and guideway for the East Link light rail extension.

The contract also includes constructing an at-grade station located between 130th and 132nd Avenues NE at NE Spring Boulevard in the Bel-Red corridor. Construction on the project is expected to begin this quarter.

The $3.6 billion East Link light rail extension will travel 14 miles from downtown Seattle to East King County and will feature 10 stations. Sound Transit plans to open the extension in 2023.
