Asphalt Work Will Result in Closure of Powerhouse Road

Asphalt work will result in closure of Powerhouse Road between 24th Avenue and Lincoln Avenue today, Thursday, November 2nd, and Friday, November 3rd. Powerhouse Road will be closed starting at around 9:00 am today and will remain closed overnight until 3:30 pm Friday.

Due to heavy traffic volumes on Powerhouse Road, drivers can expect delays. Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed. Detours around the construction site will be available.

Drivers are reminded that the speed limit through all traffic-related work 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.

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.
