Chestnut Avenue from 19th to 22nd Avenue will be closed to through traffic starting Wednesday, August 26, through Friday, September 4, for stormwater system repairs, roadway paving, and curb and gutter replacement. Access to properties will remain available, but drivers should use alternate routes. The closure affects a key residential and commercial corridor in central Yakima.

The City of Yakima’s Public Works Department announced the closure, noting that the project aims to improve aging infrastructure. The work follows a citywide effort to upgrade stormwater systems to reduce flooding risks and extend the lifespan of roadways. Residents near the project area are advised to plan travel routes ahead of time.

The project is part of a larger city initiative to address infrastructure needs across Yakima.
