Sidewalk Repair Project Thursday Impacting Traffic

A project to repair sidewalk sections will impact traffic on a portion of 40^th Avenue on Thursday, August 16^th.  Work on the project will take place from 6:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.

As a result of the project, the outside, southbound lane of 40^th Avenue between Arlington Street and Nob Hill Boulevard will be closed until the project is completed.  Flaggers will be on site to help drivers navigate through the work area.

Drivers are reminded that the speed limit through all traffic-related works zones within the City of Yakima is 20 miles-per-hour.

During the project, traffic delays in the area are likely to occur.  Drivers should use alternate routes until the project is completed.
