Re-opening Soon: Ames Lake Trestle Bridge on Ames Lake-Carnation Rd NE

Carnation/Ames Lake Area

Ames Lake-Carnation Rd NE between W Snoqualmie Valley Road NE and NE 52nd Street will reopen to the public on April 25, 2025, before 5 p.m.

Crews have been working hard over the past 10 months to replace the 100-year-old Ames Lake Trestle Bridge on this vital east-west corridor with a wider, more stable structure that increases sight distance for drivers and provides a safe, unrestricted crossing for trucks and vehicles of all sizes.

We are very grateful to the community for your patience and cooperation during this project.

For more information, visit MyCommute or the project website.

Lane striping and pavement grooving is complete along the bridge. The bridge will reopen to the public on April 25, 2025, by 5 p.m. The community is asked to continue using alternative routes until the bridge is officially reopened.

The bridge crosses Ames Creek on Ames Lake-Carnation Road NE, in rural unincorporated King County between Redmond, WA and Carnation, WA.

Information concerning state and some city routes is provided by non-King County agencies and included for the convenience of the public. If it is critical that you have more current information about the status of a road or a service request, please call 206-477-8100 or 800-527-6237. In major events, phone lines will be very busy and your patience is requested. Please do not e-mail for emergency road status information.

Please note that short-term road closures related to traffic collisions or utility work such as down powerlines are not reported via Road Alerts or My Commute as those closures are managed by outside agencies. During normal working hours, King County will attempt to post closure information of this type on our X (Twitter) account.

DISCLAIMER: King County Road Services provides Road Alerts as a service to the public. While we try to provide accurate and timely information, estimates of the nature and duration of closures are subject to variables such as weather and traffic conditions that are beyond the control of King County and, therefore, difficult to predict. People relying on this information should do so at their own risk. Neither King County nor its employees or agents shall be liable for the accuracy of this information, or any actions taken as a result.
