Traffic Signal Pole Project to Impact Traffic at 40th and Lincoln

Traffic will be restricted at the intersection of 40th Avenue and Lincoln Avenue tomorrow, Friday, for a project to replace a damaged traffic signal pole base.

The northbound curb lane will be closed during the project work hours of 7:00 am to 4:00 pm. The pole base to be replaced is at the northeast corner of the intersection.

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 Traffic Operations Acting Supervisor Dan Nickoloff at 576-6746.
