I don't know if it's actually legit, but it has been up for five years now.

I believe those signs were intended to be a temporary thing for the northbound mainline paving project a few years back along with the widening project that is currently underway, but the (seemingly endless) delays with the widening project have meant that the signs have stayed in place much longer than they were really supposed to. I've never quite understood why they were installed in the first place... probably a misguided attempt to make people less confused when through traffic was being detoured to the CD lanes during construction.

It almost seems like they just forgot to cover the Business 5 shield, since one of them was covered up at some point, but the other is still visible: https://goo.gl/maps/CyiXR467t6nS3mqW6

Washington supposedly has five Interstate (but no US) business routes. Are those routes locally maintained?

This sign in Cashmere would beg to differ about there being no US business routes! https://goo.gl/maps/ajNVkdbjJJ11XcFi7
This is the only one I know of, though.

Another 2.5 miles down to Wellesley Avenue will open in "mid-November" with a ribbon-cutting scheduled for November 16.

Very good news. But I don't know where they're getting 2.5. Being generous, I'm only getting around 2 miles. Then again, I'm just using the Google Maps measurement tool.
Great to see this project making more progress. I think people in Spokane are rightly frustrated by the lack of progress, but getting this section opened, and really seeing some highly-visible progress elsewhere, will really help with the PR part of this project.
