Schedule Adjusted for US 2/Spokane Airport Interchange Road Work

The schedule has changed for work on US 2 near Spokane International Airpor (SIA). The revised plan is below for a series of on and off ramp closures to grind out old pavement and place new asphalt. The full closures are limited to single-lane ramp sections where the roadway will be blocked during the work.  


During the following days and hours, single-lane segments of on and off ramps leading to and from SIA on US 2 and Sunset Hwy. will be closed. Detours are in place. Expect slow traffic, congestion, and delays.  Allow plenty of extra time to reach you destination during these periods to avoid missing flight connections.

Letters in parentheses correspond to ramp location on diagram.
