US 2 Route Development Plan Public Meeting

The Washington State Department of Transportation has completed a route development plan for US 2 from the Lincoln County line to Interstate 90 near Spokane.

An informational open house meeting is scheduled for this Thursday, June 4 to update the public on the findings and suggested improvements for the corridor. WSDOT staff will be on hand to answer questions. Citizens are invited to drop by at any time between 5-7 p.m. at Sunset Elementary School, 12824 W. 12th in Airway Heights.

Route development plans identify deficiencies in the transportation system and propose potential improvements. Open house attendees will learn more about why we need a route development plan, what improvements were considered, how improvements are evaluated, and what the next steps will be for this highway section from just east of Reardan to I-90 in Spokane. Here's more information.
