Traffic Signal Upgrade to Impact Yakima Avenue and 6th Avenue

A scheduled traffic signal upgrade at the intersection of Yakima Avenue and 6th Avenue will take place on August 31, 2022, from 7:00 am to 1:00 pm, during which the traffic signal will be temporarily out of service. This important upgrade is part of the City of Yakima's ongoing efforts to improve traffic management and enhance safety at critical intersections. Motorists should be aware that traffic will be limited to one lane, which may lead to delays and inconvenience during the work hours. The city encourages drivers to plan alternative routes to avoid potential congestion. City officials stress the significance of these upgrades in fostering a safer driving environment for both vehicles and pedestrians.

Local residents are reminded to remain vigilant and exercise caution in the vicinity of the construction site. This project reflects Yakima's proactive approach to infrastructure development and community safety. With these enhancements, the city aims to provide a more efficient transportation system for all users.
