A citywide street repaving project that began in mid May and will continue until this fall will affect traffic in several areas of Yakima from June 9th<\/sup> through June 13th<\/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 is now underway on some of the road segments. 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 9th<\/sup> through Friday, June 13th<\/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 Nob Hill between 40th<\/sup> and 48th<\/sup>, on Yakima Avenue between 12th <\/sup>and 16th<\/sup>, on Summitview between Yakima Avenue and 16th<\/sup>, on 4th<\/sup> Avenue between Division Street and Walnut Street and between Yakima Avenue and MLK, Jr. Blvd, on Walnut between 1st<\/sup> Street and 7th<\/sup> Avenue, and on 5th<\/sup> Avenue between Walnut and Yakima Avenue.<\/p>\n

The following sections of streets will be completely closed to traffic overnight from 7:00 pm to 6:00 am on different days from June 9th<\/sup> to June 12th<\/sup>:<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lincoln Avenue between 6th<\/sup> and 16th<\/sup> \u2013 June 9th<\/sup> through June 11th<\/sup><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tieton Drive between 16th<\/sup> and 32nd<\/sup> \u2013 June 9th<\/sup> through June 12th<\/sup><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3rd<\/sup> Avenue between Walnut and D Street \u2013 June 12th<\/sup><\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Summitview between Yakima Ave and 16th<\/sup> \u2013 June 9th<\/sup> through June 12th<\/sup><\/p>\n

Detour routes will be in place so drivers can go around the closed portions of those streets.<\/p>\n

A map showing the sections of roads that will be repaved during the project is posted on the City\u2019s website at https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/apps\/streets\/resurfacing\/<\/a>. Updated travel alerts related to the resurfacing project can also be found by clicking on that link.<\/p>\n
