Revolutionizing Transportation: Train Crosses Floating Bridge in Seattle, Paving the Way for Future Tech Hub Connections

Seattle’s reputation as a hub of innovation was further solidified this week with a groundbreaking event – a Link light rail vehicle successfully crossing the I-90 floating bridge under its own power. The commencement of testing for the “Crosslake Connection” marks a significant step forward in transforming the daily commutes of tech workers traveling between Seattle and Bellevue. Sound Transit hailed this achievement as a “historic milestone” for both the agency and the transit industry, marking the first instance globally of a train operating under its own power on a floating bridge.
