Buses will replace Sound Transit Two Line trains between South Bellevue and International District/Chinatown on Saturday, Nov. 14 and Sunday, Nov. 15, said Sound Transit (ST).

ST said the service disruption is required for planned maintenance on the overhead power system in the Mercer Island tunnel of the Crosslake Connection.

During the two-day maintenance project, replacement shuttle buses will operate every 10 minutes between South Bellevue and International District/Chinatown. The shuttle service will make intermediate stops at Mercer Island and Judkins Park to transport passengers along the affected route.

On other portions of the regional rail system, trains will continue to run. The Two Line trains will operate between South Bellevue and Downtown Redmond. Meanwhile, the One Line trains will run between Lynnwood and Federal Way on an enhanced schedule throughout the weekend.
