To protect public safety and accommodate heavy construction equipment, the Burke Gilman Trail will be closed on Wednesday, Jan. 6 and Thursday, Jan. 7, in the vicinity of 91st Avenue Northeast so crews can make emergency repairs to a damaged portion of the popular route.
Trail users are advised that there will be no set detour around the closed portion, which is in the Bothell-Kenmore area. Barricades and warning signs are currently in place around the sinkhole. Crews hope to replace a failed culvert, fill the sinkhole and repave the damaged portion of the trail by Thursday evening.
