US 2 will be resurfaced with hot mix asphalt from Deer Road to Colbert Road. In addition, turn lane enhancements will be constructed between SR 206 and Day/Mt. Spokane Road.
In 2014-2015, Corridor Review Study was performed with extensive community input to explore traffic movement opportunities in this area. The study identified affordable near-term safety improvements on US 2 from Deer Road to Day Mt. Spokane Road that are part of this 2017 construction project.
