A tree trimming project will require closing a section of Naches Avenue tomorrow morning, Wednesday, February 1st.
From 6:00 am to 12:00 pm tomorrow, Naches Avenue will be closed between Walnut Street and Chestnut Avenue for tree trimming.
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 temporary street closure may cause interruptions or delays in scheduled refuse collection. Contact the City of Yakima Refuse Division at 509-575-6005 for more information.
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.
For more information about the project, contact Street Maintenance Supervisor Jay Kendall at 509-575-6443.
