SR 904/Cheney (Betz Road) to I-90 @ Four Lakes- On Tuesday and Wednesday, June 17 and 18, from about 7 p.m. until as late as 6 a.m. the following morning, the I-90/Four Lakes Interchange will be closed so crews can grind and resurface the roadway. Traffic will be detoured via the Exit 272 (Medical lake Interchange), Hayford Road and Melville Road. Between the hours of 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., drivers should expect single-lane alternating traffic, directed by flaggers and/or pilot cars. All lanes will be open during daytime hours. Be alert for grooved pavement and abrupt lane edges. 

US 195/Colton to Pullman- Expect delays of up to 20 minutes each at two work zones in this section with flaggers directing alternating, single-lane traffic so that crews can do pavement repairs, plus grind and pave the centerline rumble strips in advance of a chip seal project. Work hours are from about 6:30 a.m. until as late as 8:30 p.m.


I-90/Liberty Park to Havana Street- During evening and overnight hours, from about 9 p.m. until the following morning at 5 a.m., be alert for on and off ramp closures and outside lane closures from 7 p.m. to the following morning at 6 a.m. Crews are replacing lighting and irrigation systems.

North Spokane Corridor/Francis Avenue Bridge and Intersection Improvements- During the week of June 16-20, during evening and overnight hours, drivers should be alert for flaggers directing traffic at the Market/Francis and/or the Freya/Francis intersections as crews remove the temporary signal systems and switch over to the permanent signals. The contractor has closed the right turn lane for southbound traffic on Freya Street in order to construct the new roadway at the northwest corner. All traffic movements will still be allowed, but the right turn onto westbound Francis Avenue will need to be done from the through lane so some additional traffic congestion is anticipated.  

US 2/Espanola Road to Interstate 90- Between the hours of 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., Monday through Friday, drivers should expect intermittent lane closures in the vicinity of Flint Rd. for work to resurface the highway and install a signal system at the intersection.

A detour is available.  Flint Road is closed to the north between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., Monday through Friday. Also, be alert for natural gas line work just west of the Fairchild AFB main gate.

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.

SR 290-Trent Avenue/Hamilton Street to Sullivan Road- Beginning Monday, June 16, from about 7 a.m. until 3 p.m., Monday through Thursday, Trent Avenue will be reduced to one lane in each direction for pavement patching.
