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.

There is evidence of seepage from King County’s sewer pipe in a City of Kirkland piped stream. King County’s sewer pipe runs along the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC) Trail, north of 108th Avenue NE. King County has been coordinating with Public Health – Seattle & King County, and no public health risk has been identified at this time.

Project background

King County crews and contractors have begun repairs and will soon divert sewer flows into a temporary above-ground pipe placed on a section of the CKC Trail between NE 52nd Street and 108th Avenue NE (see map). After flows are diverted to the above-ground pipe, there will be limited access to the trail while repair work continues.

To complete repairs, a section of the trail will continue to be closed through November with intermittent trail access (see map). Work is expected to last until early December. The schedule is subject to change. We will keep the community updated as work progresses.

Project update

Crews have 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 and to maintain 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 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. 
  • 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.
