Water line work will result in the closure of East Viola Avenue between South 14th Street and South 15th Street on Thursday, March 30th. Work on the project will begin at around 7:00 am and last until 3:30 pm.
Due to heavy traffic volumes on Viola Avenue, drivers can expect delays and should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed.
Drivers are reminded the speed limit through all traffic-related work 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.
The work may cause interruptions in scheduled refuse collection. Contact the City of Yakima Refuse Division at 509-575-6005 for more information.
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 509-575-6196.
