Utility Work to Close a Portion of East Viola Avenue

Repairs to a water line will result in the closure of East Viola Ave between South 17th Street and South 18th Street on Wednesday, June 14th. The work will begin at 7:00 am and should be completed by 3:30 pm.

Drivers are reminded that the speed limit through all traffic-related works zones within the City of Yakima is 20 miles-per-hour.

Because of heavy traffic volume in the area, motorists can expect delays in the project area.  Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed.

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.

For more information about the project, contact Water Distribution Supervisor Emilio Lopez at 575-6196.
