Project to Impact Traffic on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

Traffic on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard will be one lane between 1st Street and 3rd Street tomorrow, Wednesday November 2nd, from 6:30 am to 12:00 pm.

Traffic restrictions will be required as a crane will occupy two lanes of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to remove old elevator equipment from the roof of Yakima City Hall.

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. 

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.
