Chestnut Avenue will be closed Monday, July 31st, between Naches Avenue and 6th Street for a tree-trimming project.
The closure will be in effect Monday during project work hours of 7:30 am to 2:00 pm.
Due to heavy traffic volumes on Chestnut Avenue, drivers can expect delays and should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed. Detours around the construction site will be available.
Drivers are reminded the speed limit through all traffic-related work zones within the City of Yakima is 20 miles-per-hour.
Access to homes and businesses in the project area will be maintained as best as possible and emergency vehicles will be allowed through the project area if necessary.
As always, the schedule for this type of project is subject to change daily dependent on weather, equipment failure, and emergencies.
The closure may cause interruptions in scheduled refuse collection. Contact the City of Yakima Refuse Division at 509-575-6005 for more information.
