Sound Transit's newest Link light rail extension is open, connecting the 1 Line to Lynnwood. Here's what you should know about the project.

SEATTLE โ€” Passengers taking Sound Transit Link light rail between Lynnwood and Seattle may face delays Saturday due to a "rail issue" on the 1 Line, Sound Transit announced on its website. 

Due to this, all 1 Line trains are sharing one track from the University of Washington Station to Northgate Station. 

A rail issue in the northbound tunnel between Roosevelt Station and Northgate was found and cannot be fixed until daily service is done, according to David Jackson, public information officer for Sound Transit. 

Jackson said trains are sharing the single southbound track between Northgate and the University of Washington, and arriving every 30 minutes. 

Service should return to normal on Sunday, Jackson said. 

Passengers attending the Seattle Sounders game against the Portland Timbers at Lumen Field on Saturday night are asked to take the Sounder train. 

The 1 Line connects Angle Lake Station in SeaTac to Lynnwood.
