A project to remove, widen and replace a section of 48th Avenue will require a road closure for just over two weeks.
Work begins next Monday, April 4th, and will require closing 48th Avenue between Castleview Drive and West Viola Avenue from April 4th through April 22nd.
Local access for emergency vehicles and residents in the project work area will be available via Nob Hill Boulevard.
Randall Park visitors can use Washington Avenue to reach the park’s access lot and dog park.
Because of heavy traffic volume, drivers can expect delays in the project area. Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed.
Drivers are reminded that the speed limit through all traffic-related work zones within the City of Yakima is 20 miles-per-hour.
The closure 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.
For more information about the project, contact Acting Street Maintenance Supervisor Jay Kendall at 509-575-6443.
