Great news for commuters and residents across the Spokane Valley: the city has secured a $20 million federal grant to fund improvements to the Sullivan and Trent interchange, a major infrastructure milestone that promises to ease traffic and boost safety for one of the area’s busiest corridors.
The funding, announced this week, comes through a federal grant program and will go directly toward the interchange project at Sullivan Road and Trent Avenue. This kind of concrete infrastructure investment means real, tangible benefits for everyday drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians who rely on that stretch of road.
The Sullivan and Trent interchange is a critical connection point in Spokane Valley, and improvements there have long been a priority for the community. With $20 million in federal dollars now secured, the project moves meaningfully closer to becoming a reality.
In other uplifting local news, Spokane’s beloved clocktower is set to chime once again, according to a City of Spokane announcement. The return of the clocktower’s chimes is a small but cheerful reminder of the character and history that make downtown Spokane special — a welcome sound for residents and visitors alike as the community heads into the Independence Day holiday weekend.
Whether it’s major infrastructure funding or the simple joy of a historic clocktower ringing out across the city, Spokane and Spokane Valley are finding plenty of reasons to celebrate this week.
