SPOKANE, Wash. — If you live, work or spend a significant amount of time on Spokane's South Hill, you've no doubt encountered the construction projects that have seemingly overtaken 29th Avenue.
The construction projects have been underway since April and are expected to wrap up in August and September. However, a post on the r/Spokane page on Reddit suggested the construction might take longer than expected.
"Heard a rumor that construction on 29th Ave may now run through October....can anyone confirm?" the post said.
According to the City of Spokane, construction projects around the city should wrap up in August or September. They expect to have better idea of completion for each project in the coming days.
29th/Washington/Monroe/Lincoln Grind & Overlay
The 29th/Washington/Monroe/Lincoln grind and overlay project will include an array of different improvements, including installing more than 1,500 yards of sidewalks and ramps compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and repairing more than 10,000 square yards of pavement.
The project will also include modernizing traffic signals at the intersections of Washington and Boone, Washington and Maxwell and 29th and Perry.
