The 2.4-mile Hilltop extension more than doubles the length of the T Line and includes seven new stations.
The I-405 Stride BRT project includes the S1 Line between Burien and Bellevue scheduled to open in 2028 and the S2 Line between Bellevue and Lynnwood scheduled to open in 2029.
The Sound Transit Board approved opening the eight-station segment for service prior to completion of the full East Link Extension.
Sound Transit expects to begin construction of some project elements this year and to open for service between 2027 and 2029.

The loans will save taxpayers at least $26 million over the next two decades.
