Seattle just built the world's first light rail on a floating bridge Seattle's Crosslake connection works thanks to solutions like β€œtrack bridges,” which let the bridge move freely while keeping the rail steady.

Fast Company spotlighted how Sound Transit added the world’s first light rail to a floating bridge. Engineering innovation + reliable, sustainable mobility for the region. The views won't be bad either. #SoundTransit #2Line #CrosslakeConnection" https://bit.ly/404SoRe

How it started: early construction taking shape. How it’s going: a fully connected 2 Line.

Years of planning, precision, and teamwork are leading to one historic connection, opening March 28. See more photos: https://www.soundtransit.org/blog/platform/then-now-crosslake-connection-journey-photos
