North 16th Avenue will be one lane southbound next week between Garfield Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue. The lane closure will be in effect from 6:00 am to 4:00 pm daily, Monday through Friday, Oct. 21-25.
The lane closure is required for improvements that include new curb, gutter, sidewalk and a driveway approach for a private development project.
Due to heavy traffic volumes on North 16th Avenue, drivers can expect delays. Drivers traveling southbound may want to consider alternate routes if possible until the work is completed.
Drivers are reminded that the speed limit through all traffic-related work zones within the City of Yakima is 20 miles-per-hour.
Access to homes and businesses in the project area will be maintained as best as possible and emergency vehicles will be allowed through the project area if necessary.
As always, the schedule for this type of project is subject to change daily dependent on weather, equipment failure, and emergencies.
