Water System Project Will Impact Northwest Intersection

The City of Spokane will start a major infrastructure project on July 7 that will disrupt traffic on west Francis Ave. /Highway 291 and north Assembly St. Motorists are urged to plan for detours and allocate extra time for travel. This initiative focuses on installing a new water transmission main to enhance water reliability for the Northwest Terrace Water Pressure System. The project represents the first phase of a larger effort to improve water, sewer, stormwater, and traffic infrastructure in the region.

Kirstin Davis, Communications Manager for Public Works, underscores the necessity of the work and encourages community support for businesses impacted by the construction. The city aims to mitigate inconveniences while enhancing essential services for future growth. Motorists should prioritize safety by slowing down in construction zones.
