The following was just posted yesterday on DNR's facebook page. From what I understand, it may be possible to detour on hwy 94, but there is little or no shoulder, and hills/curves.

Note this closure is pretty much all winter.
--------------------------------------------
Mile Marker 125-126.3 near Mokane - Closed Nov 13 - March 15
This winter, one bridge on the Katy is getting a major glow-up. During this makeover, the trail will be closed west of the Mokane Trailhead for 1.3 mile to Hwy PP.
At mile marker 126.3, this bridge lies just east of Hwy PP and about 1 mile west of the Mokane Trailhead.
In its long life, this bridge has seen countless repairs and improvements, but the time has come for a full replacement.
We anticipate that the trail will reopen in mid-March.

Hi Ray
That’s not too bad of a detour, going east just drop down to 94 on PP and return to the Katy at Mokane. Going west drop down to 94 at Mokane and return to the Katy on PP.
It’s a short distance on 94 and no hills or curves to speak of. It also helps that Mokane is a favorite speed trap by the county mounties ;-).
