The Redmond Central Connector is a 3.9-mile (6.3 km) paved rail trail and linear parkinRedmond, Washington.[1] It is a spur of the Eastside Rail Corridor, connecting the main Eastrail to downtown Redmond. The trail features art made from railroad tracks and signals.[2][3]

History[edit]

The land for the trail was acquired in 2010.[4] Construction proceeded in three phases, beginning in 2013, 2017, and 2022 respectively. The final phase will break ground in 2024, connecting the Central Connector to the Cross Kirkland Corridor.[5]

Route[edit]

The trail begins western end of the Puget Power Trail near Overlake Christian Church and Digipen Institute of Technology.[6] A future extension will connect it to the Cross Kirkland Corridor and the rest of the Eastrail. The trail continues southeast before crossing the Sammammish River on a renovated railroad trestle. After crossing the river, it intersects the Sammamish River Trail. The trail then continues into downtown Redmond, passing through Redmond Central Connector Park and Downtown Park.[5] It passes Redmond Town Center before arriving at the future Downtown Redmond station and ending at the Bear Creek Trail. A future Sound Transit bridge across Bear Creek and under Washington State Route 520 will connect it to the East Lake Sammamish Trail, a continuation of the rail trail.[7][8]
