Structural repairs have been completed to the historic Tokul Creek Trestle, and walkers, cyclists and equestrians can once again access this scenic stretch of King County Parks’ Snoqualmie Valley Trail.
The century-old wooden train trestle that spans a 400-foot-wide gorge and sits 120 feet above Tokul Creek was upgraded with new structural timbers and reinforcements, plus a new concrete deck panel and paint during a project that required an eight-month-long closure to a three-mile-long stretch of the trail.
Funding for the $2.1 million trestle repair project was provided by the 2014-19 King County Parks, Trails and Open Space Replacement Levy through the Bridge and Trestle Program.
At more than 31 miles in length, the Snoqualmie Valley Trail is the longest trail in King County Parks’ 185-mile regional trail system. For more information about this and other trails, including Parks’ 180-mile back country trail system, visit http://kingcounty.gov/parks.
