Bellevue Downtown Association’s Post

Eastrail (Eastrail Partners) may be the Eastside’s most ambitious project yet. The projected 42-mile corridor will boast an uninterrupted stretch of trail and connecting the communities of Renton, Bellevue, Kirkland, Woodinville, Redmond, and Snohomish. Since BDA's last coverage of Eastrail in 2021, here's whats happened so far: - The project has received over $43 million in public and private sector funding with support coming from all corners of Washington. - Kirkland’s Totem Lake Connector bridge opened in summer of 2023 and Bellevue’s Northup Connector opened in winter of 2023. - Recently, the historic Wilburton Trestle broke ground as the development for a 1,000-foot-long trail bridge began. Celebrate these milestones and the opening of NE 8th St Overcrossing at the new Wlburton 2 Line station with King County Parks on June 23! The event will feature an unveiling of new art installations honoring the historical connection of the Japanese-American community to the region By 2026, the Eastside can expect the unveiling of this beautiful and functional crossing with views of downtown Bellevue and the Olympic mountains.
