Water line work will result in road closure of South 8th Street between Chestnut Avenue and Walnut Street on Monday, September 15th, and Tuesday, September 16th. Work on the project will begin at 7:00 am and last until 3:30 pm both days.
Due to heavy traffic volumes on South 8th Street, drivers can expect delays. Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed. Detours around the construction site will be available.
Drivers are encouraged to slow down and proceed cautiously through work zones
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.
For more information about the project, contact Water Distribution Supervisor Emilio Lopez at 509-575-6196.
