Water line work will result in the overnight closure of Summitview Avenue between 40th Avenue and 39th Avenue starting Sunday, January, 29th through Thursday, February, 2nd.
The Summitview Avenue closure will be in effect during project work hours that begin each night at around 8:00 pm and last until 6:00 am.
Due to heavy traffic volumes on Summitview Avenue, drivers can expect delays. Drivers should need use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed. Detours around the construction site will be available.
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.
