Spokane: Rockwood Blvd. Construction Near Hospital

~ Construction to Begin on Rockwood Boulevard Project, Street Closure and Reduced Parking Expected

Spokane, WA- The City of Spokane's Public Works department has announced that construction work will commence on Tuesday, Sept. 2, just south of Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center and Children's Hospital. The project, which is expected to be completed in mid-October, will involve the rehabilitation of the pavement with a grind and overlay, as well as a redesign of the intersection of Rockwood Blvd. and Cowley St. and 10th Ave.

In addition to these improvements, utility work will also be done as part of the project. Outdated water main pipes will be replaced and a section of the sewer and brick catch basins will be repaired.

To facilitate this work, there will be some changes in traffic patterns and parking availability in the area. Starting on Tuesday, Sept. 2, Rockwood Blvd. between Grand Blvd. and Cowley St. will be condensed. However, north/south traffic will still be able to access Rockwood Blvd at the Sumner Ave./10th Ave intersection.
