Traffic signals at the intersection of 72nd Avenue and Summitview Avenue will be shut down temporarily during on Thursday, February 2nd for about five hours while a signal cabinet is replaced at that location.
City of Yakima crews will be working on replacing a signal cabinet at that intersection from approximately 9:00 am until about 2:00 pm on February 2nd. While the work is underway, the signals at the 72nd and Summitview intersection will not be working. Traffic through the intersection will be restricted to one lane in each direction. Drivers should be especially attentive while traveling through the project area.
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 if possible until the project is completed.
Access to homes and businesses in the 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.
