Chestnut Avenue Water Line Work Extended

Water line work on Chestnut Avenue between 10th Street and Fair Avenue will resume next Monday and Tuesday, October 2nd and 3rd, with road closures in place from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm each day.

Drivers can expect delays in and around the project area and should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed.

Drivers are reminded that the speed limit through all traffic-related works 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 project and the related road closure began yesterday, Thursday, and was originally scheduled to conclude this afternoon.

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