Water Line Work to Close a Portion of Chestnut Avenue

Water line work will result in the closure of Chestnut Avenue between 10th Street and Fair Avenue on Thursday and Friday, September 28th and 29th, during project work hours of 7:00 am to 3:30 pm each day.

Drivers can expect delays in and around the project area and 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.

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