Manhole Project to Impact Traffic on Nob Hill and on 29th Avenue

A project to replace a manhole ring and cover will impact traffic in the area near the intersection of Nob Hill Boulevard and 29th Avenue for most of the morning on Wednesday, April 26th.

City of Yakima Wastewater Division crews will be working on the project between 7:00 am and 12:00 pm on April 26th.  The manhole that will have its ring and cover replaced is located in the Nob Hill Boulevard and 29th Avenue intersection.  While the project is underway, the inside, westbound lane of Nob Hill between 28th Avenue and 30th Avenue will be closed.  Drivers will still be able to use the outside, westbound lane along that section of Nob Hill.  Also, 29th Avenue between Nob Hill and Bonnie Doone Avenue will only be open to local traffic until the project 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.

During the project, traffic delays in the area are likely to occur.  Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the project is completed.

Access to homes and businesses in the area will be maintained and traffic will be allowed through the project area when possible.

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

For additional information about this project, contact Wastewater Collections Supervisor Bob Brown at 406-7103.
