Drivers will experience intermittent lane closures at the following locations this Tuesday through Thursday, March 31-April 2, due to sidewalk repairs: 

  • The right lane of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at the intersection with First Street will be closed intermittently from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm, Tuesday through Thursday. Access will be maintained to all properties in the area, including the Yakima County Courthouse. 
  • Also, 40th Avenue northbound will have the right lane closed intermittently between Richey Road and Englewood Avenue from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, Tuesday through Thursday. Access will be maintained to properties in the area. 

Traffic delays in the above areas are likely to occur. Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until projects are completed.  

As always, schedules for these types of projects are subject to change daily dependent on weather, equipment failure and emergencies.
