Washington and 72nd Closure Extended

A closure of 72nd Avenue and Washington Avenue for roundabout work is extended through Sunday evening, April 12th

Work began on Monday, April 6th. The intersection was originally scheduled to re-open Friday, April 10th

Detours are provided. Access is maintained to properties in the area. 

Upgrades for the new roundabout were completed in September 2025. Concrete that was used in the island portion of the roundabout needs to be replaced. The cost of replacing the concrete will be borne by the project contractor. 

As always, the schedule for this type of project is subject to change daily dependent on weather, equipment failure, and emergencies.   

For more about the project call City of Yakima Chief Engineer Dana Kallevig at 509-575-6048.
