The bike lane on 24^th Avenue NW in Ballard, between NW 80^th and NW 85^th Street, will be closed between Monday, June 3, and Wednesday, June 5, as film crews will be shooting a movie in that location.

Production staff will be working with the City of Seattle and SDOT to provide ample signage for bicyclists traveling on the 24^th Avenue NW corridor.

Please contact Dave Drummond at 425-269-3396 if you have questions or concerns.

Levee and trail restoration work along the Green River Trail has started and will lead to closures of significant portions of the Green River Trail in the coming weeks.

Please expect major detours (see page 2) starting this week at S 180^th Street in Tukwila. Trail users will be detoured to the trail which parallels the UP/BNSF railroad tracks east of the West Valley Highway.  This will allow bike commuter traffic that is transiting through Tukwila a fairly straight shot around the project with little disruption but anyone commuting into the Tukwila Central Business District will need to use surface streets.

No traffic will be allowed to travel through the work zone during active construction work hours.  They currently intend to work between 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Once the Kent section has been completed, construction and consequent closures will slowly move north along the eastside of the river throughout the coming month.

Trail users are encouraged to find alternate north-south routes during that time, with the Interurban Trail being the preferred route for bicyclists.

King County Wastewater Treatment Division contractors will be working in a manhole on the Sammamish River Trail, south of Luke McRedmond Landing on Thursday, May 16.

For safety, riders will be required to dismount and walk their bicycles around the work zone.

The contractors will be cleaning out the Sammamish Siphon located along the Sammamish River Trail behind the Peloton Apartments at 7435 159th Place NE in Redmond. Crews will have two large construction vehicles and will be staging construction equipment near the manhole. Work is scheduled between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
