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.
