The installation of two storm drains and a storm pipe will result in the westbound lane of Englewood Avenue being closed between 49th Avenue and 51st Avenue from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm on Wednesday, August 5th and Thursday, August 6th.
City of Yakima Stormwater Division and Streets Division personnel will install the stormwater structures so a roadside ditch can be filled in, resulting in a wider roadway shoulder in this area.
While the project is underway, westbound traffic on Englewood will be detoured around the project site via N. 49th Avenue.
Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed.
Drivers are reminded that the speed limit through all traffic-related works 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.
As always, the schedule for this type of a project is subject to change daily dependent on weather, equipment failure, and emergencies.
