On Saturday, July 8, Kirkland will open a $22.3 million bike and pedestrian bridge that will fill in the final gap on the city’s backbone of a regional multi-use trail, the Cross Kirkland Corridor. The mostly gravel trail makes up nearly six miles of the ever-expanding East Rail corridor that is envisioned as a 42-mile connection south to Renton and north into Snohomish County. The landmark bridge features color changing LED lighting and controls designed by DMD. The lighting was designed to enhance the bridge while minimizing any impacts to drivers and the local ecosystem.
