City Construction Projects Getting Underway

- Work on a project to replace a 36-inch water transmission main with a larger main in Hartson and 11th avenues from Havana to Sherman streets restarts today. Some work on this project was done last fall. The project also includes repairs to the following streets: 11th Ave. from Altamont Blvd. to Julia St. and N. Altamont Blvd. from 11th to Ninth avenues; and Ninth Ave. from Perry to Julia streets. Hartson Ave. between Havana and Myrtle streets will be closed to traffic. Signs will be in place. Local access will be maintained.

The $3.5 million project is funded by the City of Spokane Water Department and the 10-Year Street Bond.

- If you hadn't noticed, work started last week on a project to rehabilitate Second Avenue from Howard to Arthur streets. Second Ave. from Arthur to Division streets is reduced to one lane and is slow going so you may want to avoid the area. The entire project is expected to be completed by the end of July.

The $2.1 million project is being funded by the 10-Year Street Bond, Wastewater Department, Water Department, and safety funds.
