Work Could Start Next Week on 24th Street Portion of 3E Project
Avenue 3E and 24th Street Areas - 24th Street lane Restrictions
The first phase of the replacement of 24th Street pavement from Avenue 2½E to Avenue 3E is scheduled to begin within the next week; this will require 24th Street restrictions to one lane of traffic in each direction. Avenue 3E is closed between 24th Street and 32nd Street for widening and resurfacing. Motorists who frequent 3E for through traffic should detour using Pacific Avenue, or Araby Road if approaching from the east. Businesses in the general vicinity are open and access is available via 24th Street, Lakin Avenue and Palo Verde Street.
Avenue 6E Sewer Interceptor at 32nd Street
Sections of 32nd Street have been closed at Avenue 6E as part of a sewer line interceptor project. During this portion of the project, 32nd Street traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction in that section. Left turns are prohibited off of and onto Avenue 6E from of 32nd Street; however, "right in, right out" turns are available for motorists.
40th Street Water Transmission Line, Avenue 3E to 6E
The intersection of 40th Street and Avenue 4E has reopened and north-south traffic flows uninterrupted on Avenue 4E. However, 40th Street remains closed between 3-1/2E and 4E as this water transmission line project progresses.
East 24th Street School Zone Changes
Motorists should be advised that the digital speed limit signs on East 24th Street between Avenue 7E and Avenue 9E have been replaced with more traditional school zone/speed limit signs indicating the presence of a school zone and that a school zone speed limit of 25 mph will be in effect when the signal above it is flashing. The stretch of 24th Street between Desert Mesa and Otondo schools will be treated as one school zone, rather than two separate school zones.
32nd Street Drainage Improvements
ADOT's drainage improvement project along the north side of 32nd Street between Avenue 2-1/2E and Pacific Avenue may reduce 32nd Street to as little as one lane in each direction through the duration of the project to provide a safe work zone. Work hours will be between 5 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Casa Manana Neighborhood
Crews are expected to wrap up all work in the coming days.
16th Street Widening - ADOT Project
Traffic along 16th Street remains restricted to one lane in each direction between Yuma Palms Parkway and Arizona Avenue as work proceeds on both bridges. Please plan ahead to reach your 16th Street destination.
Avenue B to Avenue C, 1st Street to 8th Street Sewer Project - Yuma County
Work is under way on sewer lines in a general area between 1st and 8th streets and avenues B to C.
I-8 Rock Fall Containment at Telegraph Pass - ADOT Project
ADOT has closed eastbound I-8 and shifted all traffic to the westbound roadway. The existing westbound I-8 lanes will be used to move both eastbound and westbound traffic during the closure. Eastbound I-8 is expected to reopen soon. Eastbound traffic will be shifted using a temporary paved detour constructed in the interstate median just east of Foothills Parkway and then shifted back at Dome Valley. Traffic entering the interstate at Dome Valley will not be affected by the closure. Wide loads are restricted to 12 feet, with the only available detour at this time being SR 85 to I-10 to U.S. 95.
Road Work North of 4th Avenue Bridge - Imperial County
The City of Yuma wishes to advise area motorists of an upcoming road resurfacing project by Imperial County, Calif., that will affect traffic north of the 4th Avenue Bridge to the intersection of Winterhaven Drive and Picacho Road.
