Eighth Street between Chestnut Avenue and Walnut Street will be closed Monday through Friday, Feb. 27th through March 3rd, from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm each day.
The temporary closure of 8th Street will be required for a project to replace curb and gutter. Detour routes around the project area will be posted.
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.
As always, the schedule for this type of project is subject to change daily dependent on weather, equipment failure, and emergencies.
The project may cause interruptions in scheduled refuse collection. Contact the City of Yakima Refuse Division at 509-575-6005 for more information.
For more about the project, contact Street Maintenance Supervisor Jay Kendall at 509-576-6443.
