No closures are required for King County levee repair work during the week of Oct. 19-23. Some stretches of the Green River Trail through Kent will have a temporary gravel shoulder, and trail users are asked to use caution.

As work moves forward, the location of current and upcoming closures will be posted at www.kingcounty.gov/rivers. Trail users are encouraged to sign up for weekly updates or follow #GreenRiverTrail @KCDNRP on Twitter and “like” the King County Rivers Facebook page for current and upcoming closure schedule.

King County crews are repairing damaged portions of levees, replacing stormwater infrastructure, removing stumps, hedges and debris, and performing other needed maintenance work. Maintenance is required to improve levee integrity and allow safety inspections of the levees.

Trail closures will occur in various locations and for times ranging from one day to as long as a few weeks, and the work will continue into 2016. General notification signs will be posted at major trail access points and trail closure signs will be posted at either end of active work areas.

Additionally, work by the City of Kent and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers for Green River levee improvements means a long-term closure for the stretch of Green River Trail between State Route 181 and the trail bridge south of South 180th Street.
