Some Very High Impact WSDOT Construction Projects

  • I-90/Sullivan Rd. to Barker Rd.-Additional Lanes (MP 291-294)
On Friday, May 18, beginning at 8 p.m. until as late as 6 a.m. Saturday morning, westbound I-90 will be reduced to one through lane. Following that, westbound I-90 will be reduced to two through lanes to as late as 5 p.m. on Saturday.

Also on Friday, May 18, beginning at 8 p.m. until as late as 5 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, May 19, the westbound Sullivan off ramp will be closed to all traffic. Drivers may wish to use the westbound Evergreen or Barker off ramps as an alternative. Crews will be removing temporary asphalt on the off ramp and surfacing with the final permanent asphalt layer. (The temporary surface was placed late last fall to enable all three westbound freeway lanes to be open during the winter months.) In addition, eastbound I-90 may be reduced to two through lanes on an intermittent basis on May 18-19.

 
  • North Spokane Corridor/Francis to Farwell-Southbound Lanes
 Beginning Monday, May 21, Freya Street will be closed to all traffic between the NSC Roundabout and Lincoln Road. Access to Fairview Road, Lincoln Road, Gerlach Road, plus businesses and residences in the area is via Freya Street from Market Street. This closure may be in place until early July during construction of the second roundabout. Access to the NSC on Freya from Francis remains open.
