You’re invited to an open house next week to find out how a congested area intersection will get a major safety overhaul.

Drivers at the US 195/Cheney-Spokane Road Interchange now must turn across high-speed traffic to access US 195 or Cheney-Spokane Road. When construction kicks off in spring 2012, crews will add a new freeway-style interchange at the intersection to improve safety.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will host the open house from 4-8 p.m. Thursday, April 14, at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 5810 S. Meadowlane Road to present design and construction information on the project—including issues related to the nearby Latah Creek shoreline.

There is no formal presentation planned and people are invited to drop by anytime during the meeting. Engineering and environmental staff will be on hand to answer questions and take comments on the project.
