I took this photo today along the Sammamish River Trail, looking south.  As you can see, work is nearly completed on the Redmond Central Connector where spans the railroad trestle bridge.  Note the new aluminum staircase which provides access from the River Trail to the Connector.

I spoke to a man who was working there, and he said this section will open sometime next week, with the official opening occurring on Saturday, September 23.
