Utility Work to Close a Portion of North 20th Avenue

Utility work will result in the closure of North 20th Avenue between Fruitvale Boulevard and Willow Street on Tuesday, August 8th.  Work on the project will take place from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm.

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 works 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.

Drinking water customers in this area will experience a temporary water outage throughout the day while repairs are being made to water main.

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