Refinements to US 2 Safety Improvements

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has been studying the situation on US 2 just north of Spokane for a while now. Increased commercial and residential development there has caused traffic volumes to increase by nearly 9 percent in the last 10 years. As a result, collisions related to traffic congestion are on the rise.

In late 2014, WSDOT announced several potential changes to the lane configuration on US 2 between the SR 206 intersection and Day-Mt. Spokane Road.  Citizen and business owners followed up with questions, concerns, and comments on the design, giving WSDOT planners some additional challenges to work through.

On Thursday, March 12, the Washington State Department of Transportation wants to get everyone back together again for a public open house to present the new design refinements for this section of US 2. 

Here are the details:

5 – 8 p.m., Thursday, Mar. 12, 2015
Mountainside Middle School
4717 E. Day-Mt. Spokane Rd., Colbert, WA
