The Washington State Department of Transportation has completed a route development plan for US 2 from the Lincoln County line to Interstate 90 near Spokane.

An informational open house meeting is scheduled for next week to update the community on the findings in the plan with details on the suggested improvements for the corridor. WSDOT staff will be on hand to answer questions about the overall status of the project and construction details. There will be no formal presentation at the open house. Interested citizens are invited to drop by at any time during the meeting.

The open house will be held on Thursday, June 4, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Sunset Elementary School, 12824 W. 12th in Airway Heights.

Route development plans identify deficiencies in the transportation system and propose potential improvements. Open house attendees will learn more about why we need a route development plan, what improvements were considered, how improvements are evaluated, and what the next steps will be for this section of US 2 from just east Of Reardan to I-90 in Spokane.
