LIBERTY LAKE – A long awaited transportation project is finally finished and opening soon.
The Kramer Overpass opens on Saturday, Sept. 9, with a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony starting at 10 a.m.
The city invites the public out to watch at the intersection at 21200 E. Country Vista Drive.
Scheduled speakers for the ceremony include Liberty Lake mayor Cris Kaminskas.
4th Legislative District senator Mike Padden will also be on site to speak about the overpass.
Central Valley School District superintendent John Parker is also set to speak about the transportation improvements this will bring for area schools.
Spokane Valley Fire Dept. chief Frank Soto Jr., Washington State Dept. of Transportation regional administrator Todd Trepanier, and Greater Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce president Lance Beck line out the speakers for the day.
Guests are also invited to participate in a bike and golf cart parade to the Mission Avenue roundabout and back, a round trip of about one mile.
The areas immediately west and east of the roundabout on E. Mission Avenue north of the bridge will be closed from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. for the safety of the bike and golf cart participants during the Sept. 9 ceremony.
Members of the public who are planning to attend the grand opening ceremony are advised to park in the Consign Furniture parking lot at 21605 E. Country Vista Drive and use the walkway on the north edge of the road to get to the event area.
