Burke Gilman Trail closure Aug. 5 for pavement repairs

A portion of the Burke-Gilman Trail on campus will be closed Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2026, for safety-related pavement repairs at several locations.

The planned single-day closure will affect pedestrian and bicycle travel between NE 47th Street and Rainier Vista. Trail users will be directed to a detour behind the Plant Services Building and along Pend Oreille Road NE, NE Mason Road and East Stevens Way.

Signage and barricades will mark the closure and detour route. Flaggers will also be present to help direct people through the area.

Please allow extra travel time and follow all posted directions while the work is underway.
