Maintenance on 520 for a couple weeks.

A reminder that at 10 p.m. tonight, Friday, the SR 520 bicycle/pedestrian trail across Lake Washington closes for 15 days around-the-clock until 1 p.m. Friday, Feb. 2.

This is a big closure for anyone who uses the trail to get across the lake and we recognize how disruptive this will be. We’re rebuilding a portion of the trail near the new bike and pedestrian bridge and securing some utility vaults just below the trail and there's no way to safely do this while also maintaining access to the trail. We will keep working with the contractor to find ways to expedite the work and compress the closure as much as possible.
