Sections of Beech Street that have been periodically closed since last summer while work related to the installation of a sewer main interceptor was underway have been reopened.<\/p>\n
Sections of Beech Street between Fair Avenue and the I-82 underpass were closed while the sewer main interceptor project was ongoing.\u00a0 The Beech Street underpass below I-82 has been closed throughout the project.<\/p>\n
Sewer main interceptors receive wastewater from multiple main sewer lines and convey it to a treatment plant. Sewer main interceptors are the largest diameter lines in the sewer system and the furthest downstream in the system.<\/p>\n
The project began in late August 2017 and was completed in phases by Scout Lake Construction, a Selah-based contracting firm.<\/p>\n
Because of the project, Yakima Transit Route 6 South was detoured temporarily.\u00a0 As of tomorrow, Route 6 will return to normal service, which includes access along Beech Street to and from a bus stop adjacent to the Walmart Supercenter.<\/p>\n
