WA: Future US 395 in Spokane
« on: April 27, 2016, 11:43:30 pm »
So I found this on the North Spokane Corridor:
http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/US395/NorthSpokaneCorridor/

According to Wiki (http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/US395/NorthSpokaneCorridor/) (and verified by GMSV), this is currently signed as Future US 395.

I'm not sure whether this should go in the 6-month Outlook section or not, but since some of it was complete I figured here would be okay.

Who maintains Washington, anyway?
Was WA one of Dave Filpus's old states?

Washington was indeed a Dave Filpus state, with no specific current maintainer (same as with several other states, including his and Tim's, not yet taken over by other team members).

The Future US 395 signs have been around for many years, at least since 2012 when I was last in Spokane.

Progress is being made to complete the bypass, but the timetable for completion (including an "interim connection" to I-90 that will still cost ~$750 million) is unclear. I think we can wait until WSDOT puts in for AASHTO approval to move US 395 to the bypass. We haven't mapped Future US routes like we do Future Interstates, and I would not start now.

Are there even any other Future US Routes signed like that?

Unless there's enough to make it rather a lot of work, there's no reason why we can't put them into the Bannered US Route system.

Bumping this because we now have someone working on Washington.

US 395 Future was quietly added to the HB a few months ago. Any changes needed yet? I didn't notice any, when I re-clinched the route this July.

Looks fine to me. The rest of the North Spokane freeway isn't going to be finished for another ten years or so. Construction on the next part won't start till 2019.
