Speed Bump Project to Impact Traffic on 50th Avenue

A project to install speed bumps will impact traffic on a section of 50th Avenue for most of each day on Monday, November 6th and Tuesday, November 7th.

As a result of the project, the section of 50th Avenue between Summitview Avenue and Chestnut Avenue will be closed from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm each day on November 6th and November 7th.  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 project 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.

For additional information about this project, contact Streets and Traffic Operations Manager Joe Rosenlund at 576-6430.
