Traffic on 72nd Avenue will be reduced to one lane north of Tieton Drive for about 300 feet tomorrow, Wednesday, November 2nd, from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm.
Traffic restrictions will be required for a project to grind and replace the asphalt on that section of 72nd Avenue.
Because of heavy traffic volume, drivers can expect delays in the project area. Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed. Access will be maintained for businesses and emergency vehicles in the project area.
Drivers are reminded that 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 project is subject to change daily dependent on weather, equipment failure, and emergencies.
For more information about the project, contact Street Maintenance Supervisor Jay Kendall at 509-576-6443.
