Section of N. 4th Street to Close for Sewer Installation

North 4th Street will be closed Thursday, July 13th, between E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and E. Lincoln Avenue for a sewer line installation project.

The closure will be during project work hours of 6:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Drivers should also be aware there is a possibility work will require closing the same section of North 4th Street on Friday, July 14th, during the same project hours. The City will provide updates on its social media platforms if the closure is required Friday.

During the project, traffic delays in the area are likely to occur. Drivers should use alternate routes until project completion.

Drivers are reminded the speed limit through all traffic-related work zones within the City of Yakima is 20 miles-per-hour.

Access to homes and businesses in the project area will be maintained as best as possible and emergency vehicles will be allowed through the project area if necessary.

The repairs may cause interruptions in scheduled refuse collection. Contact the City of Yakima Refuse Division at 509-575-6005 for more information.

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

Contact Acting Construction Supervisor Dana Kallevig at 509-249-6813 for more information about the project.
