Project to Impact Traffic on Section of Fruitvale Boulevard

The City of Yakima is implementing temporary traffic restrictions on Fruitvale Boulevard from June 3rd to June 6th, designed to facilitate essential construction work. The affected area spans from 40th Avenue to 39th Avenue, where the curb lane in front of Denny's Restaurant will be closed. This closure will restrict eastbound traffic to one lane, creating potential delays for commuters. The work is being conducted by the City of Yakima Street Department, focusing on the removal and repaving of the roadway to enhance safety and driving conditions. Local officials emphasize the importance of these improvements for long-term infrastructure integrity.

Residents are encouraged to remain informed and adjust their travel plans accordingly during this period. The city's commitment to maintaining and improving roadways reflects its proactive approach to urban planning and development. For ongoing updates and information, citizens can consult the city’s official website and local news outlets.
