City of Renton closes portion of Cedar River Trail
Closure stretches between the Cedar River Dog Park and Riverview Park
RENTON, WA - The City of Renton has closed a portion of the Cedar River Trail as a precaution due to damage from the recent rain storms.
The trail closure extends eastbound from just beyond Cedar River Dog Park to Riverview Park. Both parks remain open and the trail is accessible eastbound at Riverview Park, but not westbound. Fencing and warning signs are in place and trail users are asked to obey the warnings and not to go beyond. Violators will be subject to prosecution (RMC 2-9-8.C.2).
The city will be consulting with geotechnical engineers on the next steps in repairing the riverbank. Currently there is no established timetable for re-opening the closed portion of the trail.
Questions about the closure can be directed to the city’s parks and trails division at 425-430-6600.
