Road Work to Impact Traffic Next Week

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

The City of Yakima will close the Nob Hill Boulevard and Fair Avenue intersection from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. nightly August 3-7 for traffic signal installation. Detours will be available during overnight closures, with daytime access maintained. A separate paving project on Fruitvale Boulevard between 24th and 34th Avenues will cause intermittent lane restrictions August 3-13, with work hours from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.

Sidewalk improvements on 88th Avenue between Tieton Drive and Summitview Avenue remain closed to through traffic through late August. The project began mid-July and affects the Apple Valley Elementary area. Franklin Pool will open Saturdays August 1-22 from 12:30-4:30 p.m., expanding summer swim hours beyond its regular Monday-Friday schedule.

Residents should plan for overnight traffic disruptions and potential daytime delays near Nob Hill, Fruitvale, and 88th Avenue. The city advises using detour routes during overnight closures and checking for real-time updates through the city's website or social media channels.
