Tree trimming near the intersection of Scenic Drive and Pecks Canyon Road will impact traffic for about four hours on Monday, September 18th.
City of Yakima crews will be trimming a tree near the Scenic Drive and Pecks Canyon Road intersection to improve driver and pedestrian safety in the area from 8:00 am until about noon on September 18th. Traffic on Pecks Canyon Road will be rerouted east onto Scenic Drive or south onto 53rd Avenue. Eastbound traffic on Scenic Drive will be rerouted south onto 58th Avenue.
Flaggers will be in place to reroute drivers through the area where tree trimming operations will be underway.
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 until the project is completed.
Access to homes in the project 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.
For additional information about this project, contact Streets and Traffic Operations Manager Joe Rosenlund at 576-6430.
