A citywide street repaving project that began earlier this month and will continue until this fall will affect traffic in several areas of Yakima from June 2nd<\/sup> through June 6th<\/sup>. The City is spending about $15 million dollars this year completing a \u201cgrind and overlay\u201d project, which involves removing old and deteriorated asphalt and replacing it with new asphalt, in order to recondition more than 90 lane miles of roadway sections in different parts of Yakima.<\/p>\n

Since the project got underway, most of the work has been has focused on preparing to grind up old asphalt from streets. The actual grinding of the asphalt will begin on several streets between June 2nd<\/sup> and June 6th<\/sup>. It\u2019s likely streets will not be repaved for about two weeks after the grinding portion of the project is completed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe grind and overlay process will make driving along the streets that are under construction inconvenient for a couple of weeks,\u201d said Senior City Engineer Bob Desgrosellier. \u201cWe hope that people will be as patient as possible and avoid streets that are being worked on.\u201d<\/p>\n

From Monday, June 2nd<\/sup> through Friday, June 6th<\/sup>, periodic lane closures will occur each day from 6:00 am to 4:00 pm on 40th<\/sup> Avenue between Fruitvale Boulevard and Summitview Avenue, on Lincoln Avenue between 24th<\/sup> and 32nd<\/sup>, on 24th<\/sup> Avenue between Washington Avenue and Nob Hill Boulevard, on Nob Hill between 40th<\/sup> and 48th<\/sup>, on 16th<\/sup> Avenue between Nob Hill and Englewood Avenue, on Tieton Drive between 16th<\/sup> and just west of 32nd<\/sup>, on 4th<\/sup> Avenue between Division Street and Walnut Avenue and between Yakima Avenue and MLK, Jr. Blvd, on 3rd<\/sup> Avenue between Walnut and D Street, on Summitview between Yakima Avenue and 16th<\/sup>, and on Yakima Avenue between 12th<\/sup> and 16th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n
