City Wrapping Up Projects

The City of Spokane is cranking out projects now. Here's what they've finished this week:

- Second Ave. from Sunset Blvd. to Howard St. remains reduced to one lane of traffic until this evening’s commute when the street will reopen to traffic. Additional work will be done in the spring of 2011 when the project will have the top lift of asphalt and permanent striping placed.

The $2.1 million project was funded by the 10-Year Street Bond and City of Spokane Water and Wastewater Departments.

- Addison and Standard streets from Francis Ave. to Colton Pl. have reopened to traffic. Additional work will be done in the spring of 2011, when the top lift of asphalt will be laid from Lincoln Rd. to Colton Pl. Once completed, the project will rehabilitate Addison and Standard streets from Francis Ave. to Colton Pl. and Beacon Ave. from Dakota to Nevada streets, and upgrades to the stormwater drains and new ADA curb ramps will have been installed.

The $1.7 million project was funded by the 10-Year Street Bond and City of Spokane Wastewater Department.

- Madison, Adams, and Jefferson Streets from Fourth to Sprague avenues has reopened to traffic and the streets are repaired, including the historic brick gutter that was repaired from First to Second avenues.

The $1.1 million project was funded by the 10-Year Street Bond.
