By Oct. 15 pedestrians and bicyclists will again be able to continue on the Burke-Gilman Trail under the Fremont Bridge rather than taking the detour that was provided during bridge construction. The trail from Stone Way North to Phinney Avenue North has been detoured to North 34th Street during replacement of the Fremont Bridge approaches and replacement of the mechanical and electrical systems of the bridge. Now work has progressed enough to open the trail using a temporary location through the construction site.

There will be occasional, brief closures when construction equipment needs to cross the trail or to make deliveries to the site. When the contractor moves the trail to its permanent location in November, the trail will again be closed for approximately one week while the contractor cleans up the site and completes finishing work.
