Tree Removal to Impact N. 3rd St

A tree removal project will lead to the closure of North 3rd Street in Yakima on June 3rd, impacting traffic between G Street and F Street. Scheduled from 6:30 am to 4:00 pm, the closure will allow crews to safely remove trees that may pose risks to the surrounding area. Despite the closure, access to properties within the project area will be maintained, ensuring minimal disruption for residents. Authorities are urging drivers to observe speed limits while navigating near the work zone to ensure safety for both workers and motorists. This project reflects Yakima's commitment to maintaining urban infrastructure and addressing potential safety hazards associated with aging trees.

Although specific reasons for the tree removal weren't detailed, it is likely related to health concerns regarding the trees. Commuters are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays during the closure. Updates on traffic conditions and progress will be communicated through local news outlets.
