The North Spokane Corridor broke ground on August 11, 2001. As of November 16, 2023, an additional 1.5 miles was opened to the public from where the corridor previously ended at Freya Street down to Wellesley Avenue competing 7 miles of the 10.5 mile corridor.
Work began in April 2021 at the Euclid Avenue overcrossing. Once the 2nd BNSF Railroad Realignment project is complete in July 2021, work will begin around Wellesley Avenue to start on the two roundabouts and reopening Wellesley to the public in 2023. Once complete, work will focus on opening the North Spokane Corridor from its current end at Freya down to Wellesley Avenue in 2023.
