Asphalt work will result in traffic restrictions on 3^rd Avenue between Perry Street and King Street on Wednesday, July 30^th. Work on the project will begin at 7:00 am and last until 3:30 pm.

Traffic will be limited to one lane in both directions in the project area. Due to heavy traffic volumes on 3^rd Avenue, drivers can expect delays. Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed.

Drivers are encouraged to slow down and proceed cautiously through work zones.

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.

The repairs may cause interruptions in scheduled refuse collection. Contact the City of Yakima Refuse Division at 509-575-6005 for more information.

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 509-575-6196.
