Eastside Interceptor Section 14 joint rehabilitation

King County crews and contractors are making 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 in a City of Kirkland piped stream. King County’s sewer pipe runs along the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC) Trail, north of NE 43rd Street. 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 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 (see map). After the pipe is assembled, there will be limited access to the trail while work is underway at the repair site.

To complete repairs, a section of the trail between NE 52nd Street and 108th Avenue NE will close through November with limited trail access (see map). Work is expected to last until early December with intermittent trail access. The schedule is subject to change. We will keep the community updated as work progresses.
