CKC Section Closure
As early as Sept. 8, 2026, King County will close a portion of the CKC trail between NE 52nd Street and 108th Avenue NE to repair a damaged culvert that runs under the County’s Eastside Interceptor Section 14 sewer pipe, build a retaining wall, and stabilize the stream nearby. Repair work will last three months. A detour route will be available. Please stay out of the work area.
