BRIEFS: PNWU Gets Largest Class, Road Work in Yakima

This year, the class is 360 students strong. This is double the number of students from last year.

Students started their medical school journey Saturday with a presentation of white coats to the students.

Last year the school received accreditation to admit a larger class and completed construction that doubled the size of the campus.

The main intersection will be closed overnight between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Monday and Tuesday. The northbound lanes of 40th Avenue will also be closed between Powerhouse Road and Fruitvale Boulevard.

There will be traffic controls out during construction periods.
