Rockwood Blvd. Construction Near Hospital

Spokane, WALocal News

Rockwood Boulevard construction begins on Tuesday, Sept. 2, affecting traffic patterns near Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center. The project will rehabilitate the pavement and redesign the intersection at Rockwood Blvd. and Cowley St. Utility work will include replacing outdated water main pipes and repairing sewer sections, contributing to improved public health and safety.

No on-street metered parking will be available on 9th Ave. and Rockwood Blvd. , which may impact local businesses and healthcare employee access. Local access will remain open, but pedestrians may face sidewalk detours. The city urges drivers to slow down for safety during construction.

The project is expected to be completed by mid-October, improving infrastructure in the area. Such upgrades are crucial for maintaining efficient services in this busy healthcare district.
