North Spokane Corridor/Francis Avenue Bridge and
Intersection Improvements-
A “Celebration of Progress” event is scheduled for Friday,
November 15th at 1:30 p.m. on the new Francis Bridge structure.

On Saturday, November 16th the switch will be made
to the winter traffic configuration.  The traffic signal will
be modified at the intersection of Francis & Market, and traffic moved
from the Francis Avenue detour onto the new bridge. Work will start about 8 a.m. and conclude mid-afternoon.  The process requires
a brief lane closure for eastbound Francis traffic, a
rolling slow down maneuver to get traffic onto the bridge, and the Market
& Francis intersection controlled by a flagger instead of a traffic signal. This will create some backups and delays.

Market Street will continue to have a single lane in
each direction through the Francis intersection. Francis Avenue will
operate with one lane each direction on the new bridge.  The south side of the bridge along the traffic barrier is designated for bicycles and pedestrians.

US 195/Cheney-Spokane Road Interchange- Be alert for slow traffic entering the highway left lane from Cheney-Spokane
Road.  The dedicated northbound acceleration lane has been removed. 
The northbound left turn lane remains closed so US 195 northbound drivers
must  use Qualchan Road to access Cheney-Spokane Road.  The
southbound off ramp to Cheney-Spokane Road is closed so drivers will need to be
alert for southbound highway traffic slowing to make right turns into
Cheney-Spokane Road. Inland Empire Way traffic is
directed to the Thorpe Road intersection.  This is a permanent closure to
accommodate the new northbound Cheney-Spokane Road on ramp.
