Building Removal to Close Naches Avenue

Starting Monday, July 22nd, Russell Crane will remove the Buckingham apartment building that sustained significant fire damage earlier this year.

As a result, Naches Avenue will be closed 24/7 between East Walnut Street and East Spruce Street from 6:00 am Monday through Friday, July 26th. From July 29th through August 23rd, this section of Naches Avenue will be closed from 6:00 am to 2:30 pm each weekday due to the project.

Detours will be posted and access will be maintained for residents in the area.

Drivers are reminded 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 a project is subject to change daily dependent on weather, equipment failure, and emergencies.

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