Traffic on a portion of 48^th Avenue will be impacted this week and next week while City of Yakima crews work on filling cracks and repairing areas of the roadway. 

On Thursday, May 1^st and Monday, May 5^th, 48^th Avenue between Nob Hill Boulevard and Chestnut Avenue will be intermittently closed while the project is underway.  Project hours will be 6:30 am to 3:30 pm.  Flaggers will be in place to direct traffic through the project area.

Traffic delays in the project area are likely to occur.  Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the project is completed. 

Access to homes and businesses in the areas will be maintained and traffic will be allowed through the project areas when possible.

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