road work

City officials say a section of South 1st Street will be down to one lane each direction, Tuesday, October 4th, for an asphalt grinding project.

Road and utility work continues in the city of Yakima this fall as city officials prepare for colder weather and the upcoming winter season.

This closure is part of the project to preserve I-82 from the Fred G. Redmon Bridge to N. 1st Street and pave a section of I-82 across the Naches and Yakima River Bridges.

The work continues this week with a pavement markings painting project that will impact traffic on a section of Yakima Avenue for most of each morning on Monday, August 8th, and Tuesday, August 9th.

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

If you drive a vehicle in the area your trip or commute could be impacted.

Work on the project will begin at 7:00 am and last until 3:30 pm each day.

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

Also on Wednesday, July 6 city crews are upgrading a traffic signal at the intersection of Yakima Avenue and Naches Avenue.

The tree removal project will require closing a section of 5th Avenue Tuesday, July 5th.
