Eastside Interceptor Section 14 joint rehabilitation

Repairs are underway to a sewer pipe that runs along the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC) Trail north of 108th Avenue NE.

Project update

November 12, 2025

To safely complete repairs, a section of the CKC Trail will remain closed through the end of the year (see map). Trail users are advised to avoid the closed area and use designated alternative routes during this period.

The project is weather-dependent, and the schedule may be subject to change. We will keep the community updated as work progresses.

October 24, 2025

Crews installed the temporary above-ground diversion pipe along the CKC Trail between NE 52nd Street and 108th Avenue NE (see map). Next, they will dig a hole to access the underground sewer pipe and connect it to the above-ground pipe to divert wastewater flows. Diverting wastewater flows is necessary so that crews can work safely while maintaining sewer service to the community.

A temporary pipeline (above ground) is being set up next to the trail.

What to expect

  • Construction work hours are Monday through Friday 7 am to 8 pm and Saturdays 9 am to 6 pm 
  • Pumping diverted flows from the underground pipe to the above-ground pipe will occur 24 hours a day.  
  • Detour signs directing trail users around the closed section of the CKC Trail. 
  • Lights, generators, heavy equipment, and odors near the diversion locations. 
  • Vehicles parked on the closed section of the trail.
