Flint Road is closed from US 2 to the south. A detour is available.  Flint Road is closed to the north between 7pm and 6am, Monday through Friday. At the Espanola Road intersection Tuesday evening, July 1st, beginning at about 7 p.m. until paving is completed the following day, expect single-lane, alternating traffic, directed by flaggers.

US 195/Cheney-Spokane Road Interchange- Northbound on and off-ramps, plus the southbound off-ramp are open to traffic.  The southbound on-ramp is under construction.  Drivers need to use Qualchan Road to access southbound US 195 during this work.  The Qualchan Road intersection and the Inland Empire Way Intersection are now restricted to southbound access only (right turn in/right turn out).  No left-turns or cross traffic are allowed.  This is a long-term configuration.  The Cheney-Spokane Road interchange is now the northbound US 195 access for these two intersections.

In general, between the hours of 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., drivers should expect single-lane alternating traffic on SR 904 between Four Lakes and Cheney, directed by flaggers and/or pilot cars with delays.  All lanes will be open during daytime hours.  

NSC/BNSF Railway Structures/Realignment & Ped/Bike Trail Extension- Drivers on Freya, north of Francis, and at the NSC southbound off-ramp roundabout, should be alert for flaggers directing traffic as trucks enter and exit the work area.  During morning commute hours, southbound NSC drivers should be prepared to stop near the roundabout and expect some congestion and delays.
