  • CITY ASPHALT MAINTENANCE LOCATIONS
  • ALLEY WATER LINE, 12TH STREET TO 14TH STREET

Avenue 3E and 24th Street traffic control change

As the final phase of this project is under way, traffic has been detoured away from the 24th Street and Avenue 3E intersection. No turn movements will be allowed at that intersection for the remaining 4 weeks of this project.  The detour is Lakin Avenue between 24th Street and Palo Verde, then Palo Verde to 3E.  The intersection of 3E with Palo Verde Street is once again a temporary 3-way stop, with turns permitted in all directions. There will be no impact to those going north or south on 3E between I-8 and 32nd Street.

 

 

Multi-Use Pathway closure, 16th to 24th streets

The City has learned that Yuma County Water Users will conduct dredging operations along the East Main Canal from 24th Street north to 16th Street. The work will consist of digging unwanted silt form the canal and placing it along the bike path to dry and then be removed. The canal road and multi-use path from 24th Street going north to 16th Street will be closed Feb. 7 and the project is estimated to continue through Feb. 28. Following that, similar work will progress north on the bike path from 16th Street to 8th Street.

 

 

City of Yuma asphalt maintenance, week of Feb. 7

City street crews will conduct maintenance and repair work in the following locations Feb. 7-11. Motorists should expect lane closures or restrictions in work zones.

  • Avenue B from 20th Street to 24th Street (crack sealing)
  • 23rd Street from Avenue B to 20th Drive (crack sealing)
  • Pacific Avenue from 24th Street to 32nd Street (crack sealing and grinding as needed)
  • 1st Street from 4th Avenue to Avenue B (crack sealing)

40th Street Water Transmission Line

40th Street is open between Avenue 3E and Avenue 6E, and north-south avenues between 40th and 42nd streets are back open as well.

 

 

Water Transmission Line, 12th to 14th streets between 8th and 9th avenues

A contractor working for the City is constructing a main water transmission line in the alley between 8th Avenue and 9th Avenue, from 12th Street to 14th Street. Alley access is currently closed. During specific phases of this project, closures will take place on 13th Street and 14th Street, and lane restrictions or narrowing will be likely at times on 12th Street at the intersection with this alley.
