Washingtoner/10263317

~ As construction projects begin on Monday, drivers in Spokane can expect some traffic impacts. According to Kirstin Davis, the Communications Manager for the city, there will be several road closures and lane reductions that may cause delays.

One of the affected areas is North Monroe Street, where paving work will result in a full closure between Kiernan Avenue and Francis Avenue. Drivers are advised to use the designated detour routes during this time.

In addition, the intersection of Garland Avenue and Monroe Street will also be fully closed to eastbound and westbound traffic on Monday only.

Another area that will see changes is North Market Street, where both northbound and southbound lanes will be reduced to one lane each between Greene Street Bridge and Wellesley Avenue.

Meanwhile, drivers should also be aware of rough driving conditions on West Queen Avenue due to ongoing grind and overlay work between Division Street and Wall Street. This may cause slowdowns throughout the week.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will also be closing the south roundabout and northbound off-ramp from the North Spokane Corridor to Freya Street for 20 days starting Monday.

To ensure everyone's safety, Davis reminds drivers to slow down near work zones, follow designated detour routes, and make an effort to support local businesses impacted by these construction projects.
