Spokane, WALocal News

The City of Spokane's Street Department launched a grind and overlay project on Boone Avenue today, impacting traffic between Washington and Monroe Streets. Lane closures will result in slower speeds and traffic delays until the anticipated completion on September 8. Motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians are encouraged to plan ahead and consider alternate routes, especially during peak traffic times. The City highlights the need for community support of local businesses affected by the construction. Current obstruction information is accessible on the City’s construction webpage, ensuring residents stay informed.

This initiative aims to improve road conditions and enhance safety for all roadway users. Spokane has undertaken similar projects in the past to maintain infrastructure quality. The community's cooperation during this period is vital for the project's success and local economic health.
