Sewer Line Install to Close West I Street

West I Street between North Front Street and North 5th Avenue will be closed next week for a sewer line installation.

That section of West I Street will be closed during project work hours of 7:00 am to 5:00 pm each day, Monday through Friday, Nov. 6-10.

Drivers can expect delays and should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed. Detours around the project site will be available.

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.

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