Road Improvement Project on 80th Avenue to Impact Traffic

A road improvement project will impact traffic along several blocks of 80th Avenue from Monday, August 22nd through Thursday, September 1st.

The project will take place on 80th Avenue between Nob Hill Boulevard and Wide Hollow Road and will involve removing old and deteriorated asphalt and repaving that section of the street.

Work on the project will take place between 6:00 am and 3:30 pm each day from August 22nd through September 1st. While the project is underway, the section of 80th Avenue between Nob Hill Boulevard and Wide Hollow Road will be closed to traffic.  Detour routes around the project area will be available and will be marked with appropriate signage.

Drivers are reminded that the speed limit through all traffic-related works 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 the project is completed.

Access to homes and businesses in the area will be maintained as best as possible.

As always, the schedule for this type of a project is subject to change daily dependent on weather, equipment failure, and emergencies.

For additional information about this project, contact Streets and Traffic Operations Manager Joe Rosenlund at 576-6430.
