~ As construction season continues, drivers in Spokane are facing high-impact traffic areas that require careful navigation. According to Kirstin Davis, the Communications Manager for the city, these areas include the South Hill and Latah Valley. In order to minimize delays and ensure safety, motorists are being urged to plan ahead, allow for extra time, and be aware of any detour changes.
Davis also emphasized the importance of slowing down for everyone's safety and supporting local businesses that may be impacted by these necessary construction projects. To stay informed about current obstructions affecting drivers in the city, residents can visit the City's construction webpage.
One major project that will have a significant impact on traffic is the Marshall Rd. Water Transmission Main project. As part of this project, Cheney-Spokane Rd. will be fully closed starting on Tuesday, June 11. This closure is necessary to support water capacity improvements in the area. Drivers can find more information and traffic maps on the project page.
Those traveling in this area should expect a full closure of Cheney-Spokane Rd., beginning just south of the retail area at US 195 and continuing to Cedar Rd. This will affect neighborhoods such as Eagle Ridge and Qualchan area. However, businesses in this area will remain open and accessible from the Cheney-Spokane Rd. interchange.

To ensure safety in work zones, speed reductions will be signed on US 195 between Hatch Rd. and Qualchan Dr., and flaggers will be present for traffic control Monday-Friday between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. at the intersection of US 195 and Meadow Lane Rd.
Drivers should also be aware that traffic fines are doubled in work zones, so it is important to follow all posted signs and instructions from flaggers.
For those looking for alternate routes during this closure, W. Qualchan Dr. to S. Meadow Lane Rd., which spans 3.5 miles, and Eagle Ridge to I-90, which spans 14.5 miles, are recommended options.
In addition to the Cheney-Spokane Rd. closure, there will also be significant slow-downs and congestion on the South Hill due to paving work on 29th Ave. between Ray St. and Ivory St. Starting Monday morning, June 10, grind and overlay work will begin in this area, requiring a temporary closure of Regal St.
Drivers should expect delays and congestion in this area and should plan accordingly. To avoid this area, drivers can use alternate routes such as Rockwood Blvd., Southeast Blvd., 37th Ave., and 57th Ave. east and west when possible. For north-south travel, Southeast Blvd., Grand Blvd., and Ray St. are recommended routes.
As always, drivers are reminded to exercise caution in work zones and follow all posted signs for their safety as well as the safety of construction workers.
