Fifth Avenue will be closed southbound Tuesday, November 5th, at the Fruitvale Boulevard roundabout. The closure will be in effect from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm Tuesday for work to replace two manhole covers.
A detour route for southbound traffic will be available on 6th Avenue.
Access will be maintained to properties in the project area.
Drivers are reminded the speed limit through all traffic-related work zones within the City of Yakima is 20 miles-per-hour.
As always, the schedule for this type of a project is subject to change daily dependent on weather, equipment failure, and emergencies. For example, this 5th Avenue manhole replacement project was originally scheduled for Monday, Nov. 4th, but was delayed due to wet weather conditions.
