Bridging Bellevue’s I-90 Gap on the 42-Mile Eastrail
- The Eastrail is about to grow thanks to the 2026 opening of the Wilburton Trestle and $25 million in federal funding to bridge Bellevue’s I-90 gap.
- We biked Eastrail's longest completed segment to review progress and visit the new Northeast Eighth Avenue bike bridge where murals depict Bellevue’s history of Japanese American internment.
- Eastrail will form the backbone of a regional trail network when completed in 2030, but an effort to repeal the Climate Commitment Act threatens funding.
- The Cascade and WA Bikes Boards recently endorsed No on 2117 to protect trail progress.
