Asphalt Grinding to Close Intersection of Nob Hill and 3rd Avenue

The intersection of Nob Hill Boulevard and 3rd Avenue will be closed overnight starting Monday night, May 17th, through Thursday, May 20th.

The closure will be required due to an asphalt grinding project in the intersection. The closure will be in effect during project work hours of 6:30 pm to 5:00 am, Monday through Thursday.

Detours will be in place during the project work hours. .

Access to homes and businesses in the project area will be maintained. Emergency vehicles will be allowed through the project area if necessary.

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 work zones within the City of Yakima is 20 miles-per-hour.

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