University Road Overpass Study Materials Available Online

If you're interested in Spokane Valley's University Road Overpass Study but couldn't make the January 29 open house, you can view materials used at the meeting online.

The study is looking at options for relieving traffic congestion and improving connections north and south across I-90 in the vicinity of University Road.

The presentation from the open house, updates and background information about the study can be found on the project website at www.university-overpass.com

The presentation includes descriptions of the options examined, including the preferred alternatives, which involve a new southbound lane on Argonne Road as well as modifications to a turn lane and signal on Pines Road.

Study results also suggest there may be potential for a pedestrian and bicycle overpass west of Pines Road from south of Mission northward to Montgomery Drive.

Recommendations from the study will be used by the City Council and Public Works staff members as they determine how they may best meet the transportation needs of the community.
