This is big news! You’re invited to a brief ceremony on Wednesday, June 13 at 1:30 p.m. to celebrate the opening of the next phase of the North Spokane Corridor (NSC). The event will take place on the northbound lanes of the NSC just north of Farwell Road, which you can access from Farwell Road.
Two bridges were built at the north end of the route (near the Wandermere Golf Course) and a four-lane section of divided concrete freeway linking the NSC with US 395. A fully paved pedestrian and bicycle path parallels the new freeway, connecting to other trails along the route.
You will be able to enter the NSC from US 395 via a direct connection, traveling at freeway speeds. This means we will now have traffic flowing on the northern five miles of the 10-mile NSC.
Funding for this $38 million project came from the transportation package passed by the 2003 Legislature. Graham Construction and Management of Spokane is the prime contractor.
Wow so soon? Hope it brings more money to finish the section south of Francis.
Yes, I was surprised too! Thought it would be closer to end of summer. Maybe if we can show some momentum and that we're cranking the projects out, more money will come our way!
