Nevada-Lincoln Road intersection closed today

The intersection of Nevada Street and Lincoln Road on Spokane’s North Side is being closed to traffic today until 3 p.m. for a paving job. Motorists will have to find an alternate route. The adjacent arterial streets around the site are Magnesium Road, Crestline Street, Francis Avenue and Addison Street. In other traffic news, the new Freya Street Bridge north of Sprague Avenue reopened Tuesday evening, reconnecting an important north-south corridor on the east side of the city. The new bridge took nearly 10 months and $7 million and was finished ahead of schedule.
