Tragic Cyclist Death on Bellevue Way near Mercer Slough

King County sewer construction led to a closure of a section of the bicycle trail connecting Mercer Island and the trail across Mercer Slough. This article from the Seattle Bicycle Blog and a follow up video from Best Side Cycling provide more information.


Most importantly, be very careful when riding in this area and only cross Bellevue Way at intersections with traffic lights.
