Lincoln Avenue Lane Closures Continue

Yakima, WALocal News

Lane closures on Lincoln Avenue, between 34th and 36th Avenues, will persist from October 30 to November 2, 2023, due to an essential stormwater project. Work will occur daily from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm, limiting traffic to one lane in each direction. As part of this project, 35th Avenue will be entirely closed to traffic, further complicating local access. These measures aim to enhance the stormwater management system, addressing longstanding drainage issues in the area. The project is critical for maintaining infrastructure and preventing future flooding.

Local residents and commuters are urged to plan their travel routes accordingly to minimize delays. The city has emphasized the importance of public awareness during this construction phase. Continued updates will be provided to keep the community informed of any changes to the schedule or traffic conditions.
