Greene St. Bridge Work- A project to increase the life of the Greene Street Bridge over the Spokane River is under way.  Motorists should anticipate lane restrictions on the bridge and on Greene Street between South Riverton Avenue and Upriver Drive. The work on the bridge will improve its load rating, allowing larger trucks and loads to use the bridge.  The project includes installing fiber-reinforced polymer to the bridge deck and floor beams. 

WSDOT
North Spokane Corridor/Francis Avenue Bridge and Intersection Improvements- Traffic is in the new winter traffic configuration which has Market Street as single lanes each direction through the Market/Francis intersection on the west half of Market Street.  Francis Avenue is operating as single lanes in each direction on the new bridge. No left turns are allowed at the intersection from Market Street to Francis Avenue, but are allowed from Francis Avenue to Market Street, and right turns are allowed on all approaches.  In addition, traffic on the east end of the project is running in the winter traffic configuration as well as at the Francis/Freya intersection. At and through that intersection, westbound traffic is shifted diagonally into a single westbound lane.

US 195/Cheney-Spokane Road Interchange- Bridge pier work in the median may require lane restrictions.  In general, northbound US 195 drivers need to be alert for slow traffic entering the highway left lane from Cheney-Spokane Road.  The dedicated northbound acceleration lane has been removed.  The northbound left turn lane remains closed and is signed for no left turns.   US 195 northbound drivers must use Qualchan Road to access Cheney-Spokane Road.  The southbound off ramp to Cheney-Spokane Road is open to traffic.  Vehicles must use this off ramp as no right turns are allowed from southbound US 195 to Cheney-Spokane Road.  This temporary configuration will be in place during the winter work.  Full construction will resume in the spring.
