Eastbound I-90 in Spokane will have an overnight restriction beginning Sunday, October 25. The left-side lane will be blocked at milepost 283 near the Thor and Freya interchange, covering roughly half a mile while crews prepare a connection between the North Spokane Corridor and the interstate.

Work is planned from 7 p.m. Sunday until 5:30 a.m. Friday, October 30. Because the closure runs across multiple nights, people commuting or traveling through Spokane could see slower traffic and delays during overnight trips, with impacts possible beyond those hours as vehicles move through the work area.

The drilling underway is part of the final preparation for linking the corridor to I-90, a project intended to improve the Spokane-area highway network. At the same time, Washington State Department of Transportation crews will clean drains in downtown Spokane, so overnight travelers may pass work crews at both locations. WSDOT is asking drivers to reduce speed near the work zones and change lanes when it can be done safely.
