Lane closures for a 2-block stretch of Lincoln Avenue are required this week for an ongoing stormwater project.
Lincoln Avenue is one lane each direction between 34th Avenue and 36th Avenue from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm each day this week through Friday, October 27th.
In addition, 35th Avenue is closed to all traffic on the north side of Lincoln Avenue. This closure extends into the overnight hours through Friday. However, access is being maintained for properties in the area as well as emergency vehicles.
Work on the project began October 16th and is expected to last until mid-November.
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.
