Spokane River Bridge Project

Spokane River Bridge Project, owned by the Post Falls Highway District, includes deck surface repair and in-water superstructure repairs. This work is scheduled to begin Thursday, May 9, 2024 and is expected to last until October 2024. There will be temporary signals at each end of the bridge, and travel will be reduced to one lane during the deck phase. Work in the water will consist of boats, barges, and diving crews repairing the bridge piers. In-water signs and buoys will advise water vessels of the in-water work and direct them around the project. Hamilton Construction Company is performing the work, and Keller Associates is the consulting engineer managing the contract.
