Seawalls to be repaired
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad will make repairs to the rock seawalls and track embankments from Seattle (Carkeek Park) to Everett. Their base of operations will be near the Port of Edmonds at the rail house on West Dayton Street.
This project will repair defects in the existing rock seawalls and embankments by filling existing void spaces with grout. All repairs will be made by track-based equipment with a boat acting as a spotter to identify the next repair location. Work will start in Seattle and head northward, reaching the Edmonds area in several weeks.
Work is expected to continue through the summer.
