There is a section of the Burke Gilman trail in Kenmore that has been paved for some time now with a connection to the by-pass on NE 175th Street. I sent an e-mail to King County regarding the opening date for that section of the trail and got this answer:

"Thank you for posting your question on the Burke Gilman Trail website.
The section of trail that you are referring to will likely be open after
the June 28th dedication. The contractor is working very hard to meet
the contract requirements by the 28th. The easterly most portion of the
trail in this project will be open later this summer.

The city of Kenmore had a website posting project information:

And they can also be reached by phone at 425/361.6300.

If you have any other questions regarding this project please feel free
to contact me.

Thanks for the info. Nice to know who to contact with questions.

When I drove by there this evening there were people on that section of the trail. It appears that the barricades have been taken down and the trail opened for use.

The section with the new underpass thingie is open.

Great news. I sometimes come through there via 520 trail and Sammamish River trail. That section of BG has been under construction for a LONG TIME.
