Schedule Adjusted for US 2/Spokane Airport Interchange Road Work

The schedule has changed for work on US 2 near Spokane International
Airpor (SIA). The revised plan is below for a series of on and off ramp
closures to grind out old pavement and place new
asphalt. The full closures are limited to single-lane ramp
sections where the roadway will be blocked during the work.  

During
the following days and hours, single-lane segments of on and off ramps leading
to and from SIA on US 2 and Sunset Hwy. will be closed. Detours are in place. Expect slow traffic,
congestion, and delays.  Allow
plenty of extra time to reach you destination during these periods to avoid
missing flight connections.

Letters
in parentheses correspond to ramp location on diagram.
