Road, Lane Closures Planned for Roundabouts

Both lanes on the south side of Fruitvale Boulevard in the vicinity of the River Road intersection and the intersection of North 34th Avenue/River Road/Fruitvale Boulevard will be closed starting Thursday, Jan. 30th, for work to install two new roundabouts. The project also includes installing utility improvements.

The south side of Fruitvale Boulevard at the intersection of River Road and North 34th Avenue will be closed 24/7. The intersection itself will also be closed 24/7, with detours posted.

Closures are required for Phase 1 of the project. Phase 2 is expected to begin May 12th, when crews will switch to the north lanes of Fruitvale Boulevard and re-open lanes on the south side of Fruitvale. For full scope of work see graphic below provided by contractor TTC Construction, Inc. of Yakima.

The roundabouts are being funded through $3,087,102 in state and $1,240,898 in federal grants.

The project is expected to be completed by August 2025.
