This Sunday, June 25th, City of Yakima Traffic Division crews will modify the lane structure and traffic signal operation at the intersection of 16th Avenue and Tieton Drive.
Traffic will be one lane each way at 16th Avenue and Tieton Drive during project hours of 6:00 am to 2:00 pm this Sunday. The traffic signal will also be shut off, with temporary stop signs in place during project work hours.
This Sunday’s project will modify the lane structure so east/west traffic can travel straight through the intersection and make left or right turns at the same time, just as north/south operates now.
Work will also include installing a new battery back-up signal controller cabinet.
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 project is subject to change daily dependent on weather, equipment failure, and emergencies.
