A grind and overlay project involves removing old and deteriorated asphalt and replacing it with new asphalt, which significantly improves the drivability and safety of the road surface.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next few months, the grind and overlay project will affect nearly every part of Yakima. The entire project is expected to be finished by the fall.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, the City repaved almost 30 lane miles of roads. That makes this year\u2019s grind and overlay project about three time larger.<\/p>\n<p>While the grind and overlay work is underway, traffic delays in the project areas will occur. Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed.<\/p>\n<p>Access to homes and businesses in the project areas will be maintained as best as possible and emergency vehicles will be allowed through the project areas if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>As always, the schedule for these types of projects is subject to change daily dependent on weather, equipment failure, and emergencies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/6\/files\/sites\/6\/Grind-and-Overlay-Project-Update-5-16-14.pdf\">Grind and Overlay Project Update &#8211; 5-16-14<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For additional information regarding the grind and overlay project, contact Senior Engineer Bob Desgrosellier at 575-6228.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An ambitious street repaving project that kicked off May 12th will affect traffic in several areas of Yakima during the week of May 19th through May 23rd.
