~ The City of Spokane is set to begin three grind and overlay projects next week, as announced by Communications Manager Kirstin Davis. These projects will require motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists to plan ahead and use alternate routes during peak traffic hours in order to minimize the impact on their daily commute. The city is urging everyone to slow down for safety and support local businesses that may be affected by the necessary construction.

The first project, known as the Sprague & Alki-Broadway – Freya to Havana Grind and Overlay, will commence on Monday, July 28 and is expected to continue through November. This project aims to rehabilitate portions of Sprague Avenue and Alki-Broadway Avenue through a grind and overlay process. In addition, ADA ramp upgrades and selected stormwater improvements will also be included in this project, with the goal of extending pavement life and enhancing road safety.
