Construction Project Changes

Spokane's infrastructure projects are undergoing significant changes, with the Maxwell Avenue Bike and Pedestrian Safety Upgrades postponed, impacting traffic on N. Ash St. from Sept. 22-24. During this period, southbound lanes will merge from three to one, likely causing congestion on adjacent routes.

Additionally, Rockwood Blvd. will close completely between Grand Blvd. and Cowley St. from Sept. 15-17 to facilitate essential repairs to water, sewer, and stormwater systems.

This section of Rockwood is located near Sacred Heart Medical Center and will undergo pavement rehabilitation and intersection redesign. Local access will remain open, but pedestrians may experience sidewalk detours. Officials urge drivers to consider alternative routes during peak hours from 7 a. m. to 7 p.

m. While construction may cause disruptions, it aims to improve safety and infrastructure in the community. City leaders encourage residents to support local businesses affected by the work.
