Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. is building the $3.1 billion Federal Way Link Extension, which will eventually connect to OMF South.
Sound Transit has released the draft environmental impact statement for its south end operations and maintenance facility (OMF) and the price could top $2.8 billion, depending on which of three alternatives are picked. The document also details how each alternative would be built.
The OMF is where light rail trains go for cleaning, storage and maintenance. Sound Transit operates one in the Sodo area of Seattle, is building a second OMF in Bellevue, and has plans for one north of Seattle in addition to this one in the south end. All four OMFs would operate around the clock. OMF South would service about 144 light rail vehicles.
