Removal of I-5 sound walls in select locations along the 8.5 mile Lynnwood Link Extension route is underway. 

This work will allow Sound Transit’s contractor to continue making room for equipment mobilization and construction of the infrastructure that will transport passengers from Northgate to Lynnwood in 2024.

Temporary noise barriers, sound dampening material placed on fencing, are being installed prior to the removal of noise walls to provide mitigation for highway noise throughout construction. 

Permanent sound walls will be reconstructed in advance of light rail service in 2024.
