~ Spokane City's 2026 construction season is in full swing, with several projects set to begin on Monday, May 4th that will impact traffic in the area. The city's Communications Manager, Kirstin Davis, urges motorists to plan ahead and allow for extra time as they navigate through the affected areas. She also reminds drivers to be alert for frequent traffic changes and to slow down for everyone's safety.
The construction projects this year are focused on maintaining and improving utility infrastructure, as well as upgrading street surfaces, traffic configurations, and pedestrian routes. The City has provided a construction webpage with up-to-date information on any obstructions that may affect drivers.
One of the projects set to begin on Monday is the resurfacing of 3rd Avenue between Howard Street and Bernard Street. This section will undergo a grind and overlay process between Stevens and Division Streets. In addition, any necessary ADA curb ramps will be replaced. While access to businesses will be maintained during this time, drivers can expect lane reductions and congestion eastbound on 3rd Avenue between Lincoln Street and McClellan Street. Davis encourages drivers to make an extra effort to support these businesses during this challenging time.

Another project starting on Monday is the improvement of the Washington and Stevens corridor. Southbound Washington Street between 8th Avenue and 2nd Avenue will be resurfaced with a curb-to-curb grind and overlay process. This project also includes replacing aging water main pipes, stormwater management improvements, and replacing ADA curb ramps where needed. As with the previous project, access to businesses will be maintained but drivers can expect lane reductions and congestion southbound on Washington Street between 9th Avenue and 2nd Avenue.
In addition to these road projects, the City is also beginning a $1.5 million project aimed at enhancing pedestrian safety by installing four Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon signals on busy arterials. Work will begin at two locations on Monday, May 4th and is estimated to be completed by mid-July. The first location is Market Street at Columbia Avenue near the Hillyard Aquatic Center, where drivers can expect lane reductions and slowdowns. The second location is Nevada Street at Cozza Drive, where all directions will experience lane reductions and slowdowns. However, local access will be maintained for residents and businesses. Davis advises drivers to allow for extra time or consider an alternative route when traveling through these areas.
