A viewing area is at the west end of 109th Street SW. Limited seating is available, so bring lawn chairs. Highway 522 work shuts Bothell trail State transportation crews closed a segment of the North Creek bicycle and pedestrian trail from just north of highway 522 on the University of Washington Bothell campus and Cascadia Community College Campus to the Highway 522 overpass near the junction of the Sammamish River Trail. The monthlong closure is necessary so crews can begin widening the Highway 522 bridges and build a new southern entrance to the college campus. Detour signs direct bicyclists and pedestrians to 102nd Avenue NE and Beardslee Boulevard in downtown Bothell. There also are detour fliers available at the main trail entrances near the campus. Trail users should be aware that there will be a total of 90 closure days throughout the project duration.
