E. South Riverton Avenue between Fiske and Ermina Avenue near Spokane Community College is currently closed for construction.

Project overview
This project will construct the North Spokane Corridor bridge that will cross the Spokane River and connect the skyway portion near Spokane Community College to the south and at Carslie Avenue to the north of the river.
What to expect
Construction on the North Spokane Corridor River Crossing is expected to begin in the spring of 2023 and last through the 2025 construction season. During construction, in water work and work to abutments will likely cause delays and disruption north and south of the Spokane River.
Specifically work around East Carlisle Avenue, Upriver Drive and North Ralph Street north of the Spokane River could have intermittent impacts. South of the Spokane River, Ermina Avenue into Spokane Community College and South Riverton Avenue could see various impacts.
Coinciding with construction of the new mainline North Spokane Corridor drivable section over the Spokane River will be the Children of the Sun Trail bridge. The pedestrian only bridge will be built parallel to the NSC drivable lanes over the Spokane River.
