SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. — Upriver Drive and Centennial Trail's 12-day closure starts Monday as part of the North Spokane Corridor construction.

Beginning at 7 a.m. on Monday, July 24, contractor crews will close East Upriver Drive between North Ralph Street and East Carlisle Avenue.

Travelers who use both directions of East Upriver Drive in Spokane and the Centennial Trail near Spokane Community College will need to plan additional time to prevent delays on their morning commute.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) crews will be working to undertake a sewer relocation near the Spokane River. Sewer relocation is part of the North Spokane Corridor Spokane River Crossing project.

At the same time, the contractor will close the Centennial Trail between North Ralph Street and East Carlisle Avenue. The closure of both East Upriver Drive and the Centennial Trail will last until the end of Friday, Aug. 4.
