Summary

King County has completed pipe repairs beneath the Cross Kirkland Corridor between NE 52nd Street and 108th Avenue NE and the city says the CKC south end is fully open; the podcast also relayed a planned full closure of SR 522 at I-405 from 10 p.m. Feb. 27 to 4 a.m. March 2 for ramp removal.

City hosts told listeners the south end of the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC) Trail is open after King County completed repairs to a pipe that runs beneath the trail between Northeast 52nd Street and 108th Avenue Northeast.

Angela Brown said while the pipe repairs are complete, work remains to stabilize a rockery wall and a culvert under the pipe; she said some equipment will remain along the trail into the summer while repair planning continues and the city will post updates and a project link in the episode’s show notes.

The podcast also relayed a Washington State Department of Transportation notice that crews began removing large flyover ramps at the I-405/SR 522 interchange; for the removal of the remaining portion of the ramp, SR 522 at that interchange will close in both directions from 10 p.m. on Feb. 27 to 4 a.m. on Monday, March 2. Listeners were directed to the WSDOT website for more details.

Hosts encouraged trail users and drivers to consult the show notes and official agency pages for the latest closures and detours.
