Location

The 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]
