An overnight closure of the Nob Hill Boulevard/16th Avenue intersection will be required for an ongoing street project. The intersection will close at 7:00 pm this Thursday, July 20th, and re-open 6:00 am Friday, July 21st.

The project to grind and overlay Nob Hill Boulevard from 13th Avenue to 29th Avenue began on June 26th and is expected to last until mid-October.

In addition to this Thursday’s overnight closure at Nob Hill Boulevard and 16th Avenue, drivers are reminded that intermittent lane closures continue in the project area during work hours of 7:00 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays.

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

Drivers are reminded the speed limit through all traffic-related work zones within the City of Yakima is 20 miles-per-hour. 

During the project, traffic delays in the area are likely to occur. Drivers should use alternate routes until project completion.
