Contractor crews will begin work on Monday, April 28th on State Route 290 (Trent Road) where it intersects with Starr Road near Newman Lake .

Several improvements will be made at this intersection that is located about 13 miles east of Spokane. A right turn lane from westbound SR 290 onto northbound Starr Road will be added with curbing and gutters. In addition, the illumination system will be upgraded.

The added right-turn lane should reduce the potential for westbound rear end collisions.

The project should be completed by mid June.

Spokane Rock Products of Spokane, WA is the prime contractor on this project with a construction bid of $146,348.

Information on the project is available on the internet at: www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/SR290/StarrIntersection
