East Main station

East Main Station will be an at-grade Sound Transit East Link light rail station in the city of Bellevue, Washington. It is expected to open along with the section of the line to Overlake in 2023.

Location

East Main Station will be located at the intersection of Main St and 112th Ave SE, just west of Interstate 405 on the outskirts of Downtown Bellevue.[1] As of January 2012, this station is planned to be at-grade, but just north of this station, the route will become a retained-cut before entering the Downtown Bellevue tunnel. The ballot measure that approved East Link in 2008 only included money for the Downtown Bellevue portion of the route to be at-grade, so external funding sources would have to pay for the tunnel, which would cost approximately $500 million more than the at-grade option.[2]
