Market St and S. 19th St [August - November 2022] - UPDATE

Beginning August 15th, 2022, construction will continue installing interceptor storm-water pipelines between South 19th Street and Market St. Traffic is expected to be restricted in this area until early November. This is expected to have minimal effect on parking in TPS, Court 17 and Whitney Lots. To avoid possible disruptions to your commute, we recommend following detour signs up the hill to navigate around street closures.

Whitney Lot will remain accessible. You can drive in-between displayed cones to park there as normal. We will send out a notice if this situation changes.

Link Light Rail Temporary Closure [August 1st to September 16th]

The Downtown Tacoma Link, soon to be called T Line, will be closed due to construction starting August 1st through September 16th. Shuttle buses will be replacing services adjacent to existing route. Transit stations and routes will also be disrupted between 7th and 9th on Commerce. Crews will be working 24/7 during this time to move Theatre District Station to its new location by the McMenamins Elks Lodge and Old City Hall.

Shuttle buses will operate instead of T Link between Tacoma Dome and Theater District

Construction work will begin at the end of T Line service on Sunday, July 31. The closure will begin Monday, August 1, and continue until Friday, September 16. During this time, free shuttle buses will serve all T Line stations between the Tacoma Dome and Theater District. 

Riders should look for signs directing them to T Line Shuttle bus stops and for “T Line Closure” on the bus destination signage. During busy times, Tacoma Link employees will be available at the T Line Shuttle stops to direct and assist riders.

Shuttle buses will run on the same schedule as Tacoma Link.

  • Weekdays: Every 12 minutes midday (6:36 a.m.-8 p.m.) and every 24 minutes early morning (5-6:36 a.m.) and evening (8-10 p.m.)
