The Ames Lake Trestle on the Ames Lake-Carnation Road will be closed to
traffic from Monday, May 19 at 7 a.m. through Wednesday, July 2.
During that time, the King County Department of Transportation Road Services
Division will be substantially upgrading the trestle. The renovated trestle
will have a new metal guardrail and a deck paved with a four-inch layer of
asphalt concrete pavement. Plus, the entire structure will be brought up to
current safety standards.
The trestle is located immediately south of the intersection of Ames
Lake-Carnation Road and West Snoqualmie Valley Road NE. Most motorists can
detour using Novelty Hill Road to the north of the trestle and Tolt Hill Road
to the south; but there are a variety of detour options. Detour signs will be
posted on the roads in the vicinity of the trestle.
More information and maps of the project area are available
online, or by calling
