Pavement Markings Project to Impact Yakima Avenue

A pavement markings painting project will impact traffic on a section of Yakima Avenue for most of each morning on Monday, August 8th, and Tuesday, August 9th.

As a result of the project, Yakima Avenue will be reduced to one lane in each direction from 7th Avenue to 8th Street during scheduled project work hours of 5:00 am to 11:00 am both days.

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 the project is completed. 

Access to businesses in the project area will be maintained as best as possible. 

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