Sidewalk Repairs to Impact 3rd Avenue Traffic

A sidewalk repair project will impact traffic on a section of 3rd Avenue during the next two weeks.

The project involves sidewalks on 3rd Avenue from West Pine Street to Peach Street beginning next Tuesday, May 31st, through Thursday, June 9th. Intermittent lane closures will occur during project work hours of 6:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Thursday, from May 31st to June 9th.

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

Because of heavy traffic volume, drivers can expect delays in the project area. Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed. 

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

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

For more information about the project, contact Acting Street Maintenance Supervisor Jay Kendall at 509-575-6443.
