UPDATE 12/5/25: King County will extend the closure through Monday, 12/8 to complete their resurfacing work. The sign at the closure has been updated to reflect the extra days.

King County Parks will close a section of the Eastrail in Renton during the first week of December to allow contractors to place and compact a new layer of gravel on the trail. The closure will occur between N 43rd St and Ripley Ln, near the Seahawks training facility.

Because there are no ADA-accessible alternatives in the area, King County Parks will not provide an official detour and is advising trail users to “seek alternate routes during construction.”

Cyclists who wish to navigate around the closure may choose to use Lake Washington Boulevard and Ripley Lane to reconnect with open portions of the trail, as shown below. Please note that this is not an official detour. This route requires cyclists to merge with vehicle traffic on roads without bike infrastructure, including a busy turn in an area with active construction. Eastrail Partners cannot guarantee the safety of this route and is sharing it solely as an optional resource for users.
