A water transmission line and sewer line is being installed to accommodate current and future needs.

The section between the Latah Creek Animal Hospital/Retail and Restaurant area to Cedar Rd. is estimated to close Tuesday, June 11. It is estimated to reopen in October, depending on construction progress and weather.

W. Qualchan Dr. to S. Meadow Lane Rd. (Distance 3.5 miles / Approx. 12 minutes)

• W. Lincoln Blvd. to
• S. Lincoln Way to
• S. Parkridge Blvd. to
• W. Eagle Ridge Blvd to
• S. Meadow Lane Rd / US-195

Eagle Ridge to I-90. (Distance 14.5 miles / Approx. 25 minutes)

• W. Eagle Ridge Blvd. to
• W. Taylor Rd. to
• S. Sherman Rd. to
• Cheney-Spokane Rd. to
• S. Grove Rd. to
• I-90 East/West

The 30-foot wide road will not accommodate a single-lane closure. The excavation trench and excavated material will be 20 feet wide and 15 feet deep, leaving less than a 10-foot wide area for construction workers, heavy equipment, vehicles, and materials. Further, the location of the utilities beneath Cheney-Spokane Rd. are close to the protected wetlands on one side and a railroad on the other. This location prevents a temporary “side road” from being constructed.

Residents are advised to follow our official detour route to Meadow Lane Rd. Meadow Lane will have significant traffic controls in place to increase the safety of this intersection.

• Meadow Lane Traffic Control Monday - Friday, 6AM - 9AM
• Meadow Lane Traffic Control Monday - Friday 9AM - 6AM Saturday-Sunday 24HRS
• 45 MPH Speed Limit on US-195 N/S
• Lane Restrictions
• Protected Acceleration Lanes for US-195 N/S at Meadow Lane Rd.
• No Cross HWY Traffic at Meadow Lane Rd.
• No Cross Traffic U-Turns at Meadow Lane Rd.
• No Cross Traffic Left Turns Off US-195 N/S at Meadow Lane Rd.
• Traffic Flaggers During Peak A.M. Travel Hours (M-F 6 a.m. – 9 a.m.)

A speed reduction from 60 mph to 45 mph for US-195 northbound will be implemented just south of the US-195N/Hatch Rd. intersection.

Residents should follow the official detours to US-195 or I-90. Businesses will remain accessible from the Cheney-Spokane Rd./US-195 Interchange.

We encourage the community to make the extra effort to support local businesses impacted by construction. All businesses will remain accessible from the Cheney-Spokane Road/US-195 interchange.
