Water line work will result in the closure of 6th Avenue between Fruitvale Blvd and Willow Street starting Tuesday, February 21st through Friday, February 24th.
Work on the project will begin daily at around 7:00 am and last until 3:30 pm. City of Yakima water customers in the project area can expect water outages during the project work hours.
Due to heavy traffic volumes on 6th Avenue, drivers can expect delays and 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.
Access to homes and businesses in the project area will be maintained as best as possible and emergency vehicles will be allowed through the project area if necessary.
The work 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.
