City Construction Projects Traffic Impacts Next Week

Spokane crews are installing a new water transmission main to enhance water reliability, connecting the Low Water Pressure System to the Northwest Terrace Water Pressure System. This project, running from October 13-17, affects the Nine Mile Rd. and Rifle Club Rd. intersection with significant road work. Overnight lane reductions will limit Nine Mile Rd.

to one travel lane, while Rifle Club Rd. will be closed to through traffic, allowing only local and emergency access. Additionally, the City of Spokane Street Department will begin maintenance on Qualchan Rd. starting October 16, with expected completion by October 22. Drivers should prepare for lane reductions and intermittent short-term closures.

Local authorities emphasize the importance of safety, urging drivers to slow down and follow flagger instructions. These infrastructure improvements aim to support future growth in the region. The project is part of a larger initiative to upgrade water, sewer, stormwater, and traffic systems in Spokane.
