Stormwater Project to Result in Traffic Impacts on Portion of Chestnut

A stormwater project will result in the temporary closure of Chestnut Avenue from 22nd Avenue to 24th Avenue from July 20th through mid-August. The closure will also affect side streets in the area, specifically 23rd Avenue, Henry Avenue, Arthur Boulevard, and Lester Avenue.  Those streets will be closed at Chestnut while the project is underway.

Access will be maintained to adjacent properties within the project area as best as possible.

Drivers should use alternate routes until the work is completed.

Drivers are encouraged to slow down and proceed cautiously through work zones.

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

Contact City of Yakima Wastewater/Stormwater Operations Superintendent Marc Cawley at 509-249-6854 for more about the project.
