From April 30th to May 3rd, traffic disruptions will take place on River Road between 6th Avenue and 16th Avenue, and on 1st Street between A Street and MLK, Jr. Blvd, as Yakima City crews work on vital drinking water system projects. The construction is part of a broader effort to enhance the city's water infrastructure, which plays a key role in ensuring public health and safety. Local officials are urging residents and commuters to plan their routes accordingly, as the work is expected to lead to temporary closures and delays. The city emphasizes the importance of these projects in maintaining reliable water services for the community.

This initiative showcases Yakima's commitment to improving utility services and infrastructure, which is essential for the growing population. Residents are encouraged to stay updated through official city communications regarding the progress and any changes to the timeline. By investing in these improvements, Yakima aims to bolster the quality of life for its residents. The city appreciates the community's understanding and cooperation during this construction period.
