Spokane River Centennial Trail

Barricades have been removed from the Spokane River Centennial Trail between Flora and Barker roads during a temporary break in reconstruction work.

The trail is being shored up to prevent further erosion during spring runoff. The surface is rough, but passable.

When construction resumes in late October, trail users once again will be routed onto streets before the detour signs lead them back to the trail at Flora and Barker.
