This roadway is a very important rural minor arterial and is a priority freight route that carries 14,899 ADT and is an important connector link between the Spokane Valley and the North Spokane area. This project is a segment of a larger corridor project that spans approximately 8 miles.
The existing roadway was operating at LOS E or F. The proposed 4 lane roadway with center turn lane at intersections and 8' wide shoulders Significantly improved the roadway operation. The roadway also had substandard vertical and horizontal curves with poor site distance. This project provided for these needed safety improvements.
The project reconstructed the roadway to a 4 lane section with 8ft shoulders and a center turn lane where needed. The project included adding stormwater improvements and intersection illumination. While the greater corridor project is not yet complete the project was well received, allowing drivers greater ability to enter Bigelow from the side roads and driveways with improved site distance. We also received feedback from motorists who appreciate now having the ability pass slower moving vehicles specifically the farming equipment.
