Pedestrians and cyclists can expect some extra company along the Sammamish River Trail over the next few months as King County sewer utility crews repair an aging sewer line near Woodinville.
From October through December, King County’s Wastewater Treatment Division will be working alongside the trail near Wilmot Gateway Park to repair a corroded segment of the Bothell-Woodinville Interceptor, a sewer line that has been in operation since 1972.
The trail will remain open and accessible to the public throughout the project. However, cyclists and pedestrians are advised to use caution when approaching the construction area. As a safety precaution, there will be flaggers on site to direct bike and foot traffic.
Construction hours are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

One of King County’s most popular trails, the Sammamish River Trail runs 10.9 miles along the Sammamish River from Bothell to Marymoor Park in Redmond as part of the “Locks to Lakes Corridor.” More information on King County’s regional trail system is available at http://www.kingcounty.gov/recreation/parks/trails.aspx.
