The most immediate impacts include lane closures on Wellesley Avenue between Maple Street and Division Street for a chip-and-seal project, continued grind-and-overlay work on Washington Street between Third Avenue and Spokane Falls Boulevard in downtown Spokane, and a full closure of Lincoln Street between Boone Avenue and Cinto Avenue for a bicycle and pedestrian improvement project. A city staff member also said the intersection of Lincoln Street and Broadway Avenue will be closed for two weeks starting Monday for the Falls Tower and Lincoln Street Sewer Extension Project, and detours will be in place for both Lincoln closures.
