A tree removal project will require closing sections of D Street and 2^nd Street to traffic.

Beginning Monday, June 7^th, 2^nd Street will be closed from Lincoln Avenue to D Street and D Street will be closed from 2^nd Street to 3^rd Street so crews can remove trees in the area. Closures will be in effect during project work hours of 7:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Thursday. The project is expected to take about two weeks.

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.

Access will be maintained as much as possible to homes and businesses in the project area. Emergency vehicles will be allowed through the project area if necessary.

The project may cause interruptions in scheduled refuse collection. Contact the City of Yakima Refuse Division at 575-6005 for more information.

For more information about the project, contact Acting Street Maintenance Supervisor Jay Kendall at 575-6443.
