Multiple state routes in Spokane, Lincoln and Pend Oreille counties will also be receiving work, according to the news release.

Motorists can expect delays and reduced speeds through work zones. Flaggers will be directing intermittent single-lane closures and alternating one-way traffic, according to the news release.
