The U.S. Route 395 North Spokane Corridor is a $2.1 billion (2006 dollars) limited-access highway project in Spokane, Washington designed to improve freight and motorist mobility through the Spokane Metropolitan Area. The project, put on by the Washington State Department of Transportation, will construct a new 60 MPH limited access highway from Interstate 90, northward, to the existing US 395 just north of the Wandermere area. The project is ranked 19th of 43 on the Congressional High Priority Corridor list of the National Highway System.

It will run from Interstate 90 just east of Downtown Spokane northward about 10.5 miles and will meet the existing US 395 just north of Spokane at Wandermere. The corridor was first conceived in 1946. The North Spokane Corridor is planned to bypass the busy Division Street corridor. Construction has begun on the northern section between Wandermere and Francis. The new roadway will carry the US 395 designation. While the new freeway would also be a good routing for US 2 to bypass Spokane, US 2 is planned to stay on its current routing in order to keep Division St in the WA State highway system.
