Construction Project Will Impact W. Maxwell Starting Monday

W. Maxwell Ave. will close for traffic signal upgrades from August 25 to September 19 as part of the Maxwell Pettet to Walnut Bike/Pedestrian project. The initiative aims to enhance bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure along Maxwell Ave. , improving connectivity between the West Central Neighborhood, AM Cannon Park, the West Central Community Center, and the Centennial Trail.

Motorists should prepare for detours, as eastbound traffic on Pettet Dr. will be redirected at Belt St. to Indiana St. , and westbound traffic on W. Maxwell Ave.

will be detoured at Monroe St. Local access remains available during non-working hours, although pedestrians may experience sidewalk detours. Northbound Maple St. and southbound Ash St. will remain open at their intersections with Maxwell Ave.

, albeit with lane reductions. This project receives funding from the Washington State Pedestrian/Bike Program, the Arterial Street Fund, and the Washington Climate Commitment Act. The construction is part of broader efforts to promote sustainable transportation in Spokane. Information on current road obstructions is available on the city's construction webpage.
