Spokane City Projects Wrapping Up

The City of Spokane has a couple construction projects wrapping up this week. The dedication ceremony was last Friday and now the Freya St. Bridge is expected to be open to traffic this Friday. This project replaced the two side-by-side bridges with a single structure going over the railroad lines just north of Broadway Ave.

The $7 million project is being funded by Bridge Replacement Money, the Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board, and the City of Spokane.

The project to pave and install curbs and sidewalks on Decatur Avenue from Freya to Julia Streets, and Julia St. from Dalke to Francis avenues, is also expected to be complete by Friday.

The $540,000 project is being funded by the 10-Year Street Bond and Local Improvement District (LID).

I have heard that Washington Sate Legislature meets annually in 120-day and 60-day sessions, and creates a two-year budget for capital, operations and transportation.
