A tree removal project will result in the daytime closure of a portion of North 6^th Street for three days this week.

The section of North 6^th Street between MLK Jr. Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue will be closed between 7:00 am to 3:30 pm each day from Wednesday, February 5^th through Friday, February 7^th.

Access to homes and businesses in the area will be maintained as best as possible and emergency vehicles will be allowed through the project area as needed.

Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed.

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

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

For more information about the project, contact Streets and Traffic Operations Manager Joe Rosenlund at 509-576-6430.
