Eastside Interceptor Section 14 joint rehabilitation

King County crews and contractors will begin repairs to a sewer pipe that runs along the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC) Trail north of NE 43rd Street.

There is evidence of seepage from King County’s sewer pipe into a City of Kirkland piped stream.  King County’s sewer pipe runs along the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC) Trail north of NE 43rd Street. We have been coordinating with Public Health – Seattle & King County, and no public health risk has been identified to community members at this time.

Project background

King County crews and contractors will begin repairs by diverting sewer flows into a temporary above-ground pipe placed on a section of the CKC Trail between NE 52nd Street and 108th Avenue NE. After the pipe is assembled there will be limited access to the trail while work is done on the repair site.

To complete repairs, a section of the trail will close as early as September 29 for approximately 2 weeks with limited trail access for the remaining pipe repair. Work is expected to take 6 to 7 weeks. However, the schedule is subject to change. We will keep the community updated as work progresses.
