WATERSPORTS -- Continued construction on the Sullivan Road Bridge this week will prevent Spokane River floaters from going under the bridge.

The city of Spokane Valley has announced that for this work week, and possibly longer:

The Spokane River below the bridge will be closed Monday through Friday, 6. a.m. through 5. p.m. When closed, signs and buoys will direct river users out of the river upstream of the bridge.

Signs direct river users out of the river upstream (east) of the bridge on the north bank, and direct them to the Flora Pit road and across Sullivan at the Sullivan Park crosswalk.  They go through Sullivan and can re-enter the river west of the bridge project area.
