You’re invited to celebrate the opening of the new
US 195 and Cheney-Spokane
Road interchange this week.
Crews spent the last 16 months building the new interchange for the 19,000 drivers who use this state highway, and the nearly 7,000 vehicles that access Cheney-Spokane Road daily.
The $9.5 million project eliminates turning and cross
traffic, reducing the risks of collisions at this busy location. The new
interchange also eases commute hour backups at the southeast Spokane
connection.
