TRAFFIC ALERT. City crews are busy this week with asphalt work that will result in the closure of South 3rd Street between East Walnut Street and East Chestnut Avenue starting Wednesday, November 2nd through Friday November 4th. Work on the project will take place from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm each day until completed.

Because of heavy traffic volume, drivers can expect delays in the project area.  Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed.

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

Access to homes and businesses in the project area will be maintained as best as possible and emergency vehicles will be allowed through the project area if necessary.

As always, the schedule for this type of project is subject to change daily dependent on weather, equipment failure, and emergencies.

For more information about the project, contact Water Distribution Supervisor Emilio Lopez at 575-6196.
