Touring the Wilburton Trestle

King County Executive Girmay Zahilay recently toured the Wilburton Trestle project in Bellevue, a $43.5 million transformation of the Pacific Northwest’s longest wooden trestle into a scenic trail bridge for the 42-mile Eastrail. Crews are installing a 20-foot-wide trail surface, three viewing platforms, and modern safety upgrades on the 122-year-old, 1,000-foot-long structure, expected to open next year and connect South King County to the Eastside and Snohomish County via regional trails and Sound Transit stations.
