Update: I-90 Trail closure from N. Mercer Way to Shorewood Dr.

Publish Date

The I-90 Trail is scheduled to be closed near N. Mercer Way and Shorewood Dr. Tuesday, Dec. 17 – Wednesday, Dec. 18 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. Crews will be removing trees along the trail, as their roots were exposed in the process of re-profiling and lowering the trail to make it ADA compliant per WSDOT and FTA policy. Due to the weather-sensitive nature of this work, dates and times are subject to change.

There will be a bicycle and pedestrian detour available along N. Mercer Way to minimize impacts for trail users. Eastbound travelers will detour near Fortuna Dr., and westbound travelers will detour just before Shorewood Dr. To ensure safe use of the detour, please follow signage along the route. Cyclists are encouraged to share the roadway with vehicle traffic, and there will be a designated walkway for pedestrians. Parking along the route will be restricted.
