Road work, Color Run to close downtown bridges

This weekend’s Color Run 5K and a handful of road projects early next week will close several downtown bridges over the next few days. On Sunday, the Color Run course will be closed from 7:45 a.m. to 11 a.m., blocking both the Monroe and Post Street bridges. Parking meters inside the route will be bagged and parking will not be allowed. Cars illegally parked will be towed beginning at 5 a.m. Portions of Riverside Avenue and Main Street will be blocked from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Beginning Monday at 5 a.m., Post Street will be closed between Spokane Falls Boulevard and Bridge Road to accommodate the burying of a water line for a new fire hydrant. This closure includes the Post Street Bridge. Closed portions of the road will reopen Wednesday at 6 p.m. Tuesday morning, pier repair will close sections of the Maple Street Bridge. Northbound lanes will close starting at 7 a.m., while southbound lanes will shut down at 9 a.m.
