Road repairs will result in the closure of a section of 66th Avenue on Thursday, February 2nd.

While the work is underway, the section of 66th Avenue between Scenic Drive and Englewood Avenue will be closed to through traffic.  Work on the project will take place between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm on February 2nd.  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.
