Construction Project Changes

Spokane's construction projects will significantly affect local traffic flow. Southbound lanes on North Ash Street will merge to one lane from September 22-24, creating potential congestion on adjacent routes. Additionally, Rockwood Boulevard will close completely for infrastructure work from September 15-17, impacting access near Sacred Heart Medical Center. The Rockwood project will rehabilitate pavement and redesign intersections to improve safety. Pedestrians should be prepared for sidewalk detours, although local access will remain available.

Traffic officials urge residents to use alternative routes during peak hours and consider remote work options. The city emphasizes the importance of supporting local businesses during these essential upgrades. Current obstruction information can be found on the city's construction webpage.
