Yuma, Ariz. - Traffic signals will be down at Avenue 3E and 32nd Street between 7 a.m. and noon Thursday, Aug. 19, in conjunction with the City's 3E road reconstruction project.
Arizona Public Service (APS) will be changing out lines and connections at this junction and service will need to be shut down accordingly. The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) will be providing traffic control at this intersection during the hours of this power outage.
Motorists are encouraged to leave early for their destinations if travel requires crossing this intersection.
No businesses or residences are expected to be affected by this power outage, which will affect only the traffic signals at this intersection and a booster pump station that is not typically used this time of year.
Additionally, motorists are encouraged to pay close attention to traffic patterns on 32nd Street during this period when several projects are going on simultaneously. Vehicle crashes have been reported in these construction corridors, where motorists unfamiliar with the construction are typically used to speed limits of 45 mph and above. Please pass on reminders of 32nd Street construction work to friends, associates, co-workers and family members who tell you they will be traveling in this corridor.
