Water line work will require closing South 6th Street between Rainier Street and La Salle Street on Monday, December, 9th, and Tuesday, December 10th. Work on the project will begin at around 7:00 am and last until 3:30 pm both days.
Flaggers will direct traffic through the work zone. Detours will be posted. Due to heavy traffic volumes on South 6th Street, drivers can expect delays. Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed.
Drivers are reminded that 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 repairs 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.
