YAKIMA, Wash. – Detours will be in place in the area of Fruitvale Boulevard and River Road starting Thu., Jan. 30 for work to install two new roundabouts and utility improvements.
The City of Yakima says both lanes on the south side of Fruitvale Boulevard at the intersection of River Road and North 34th Avenue will be closed, along with the intersection itself. The closures will be in place 24/7.
The closures come as part of Phase 1 of the project, with Phase 2 expected to begin May 12 when crews switch to the north lanes of Fruitvale Boulevard.
The project is funded through over $3 million in state grants and $1.2 million in federal grants.
The roundabouts are expected to be complete by August 2025.
