City of Yuma issued the following announcement on Sept. 19
1st Avenue reconstruction project
The City is reconstructing 1st Avenue between 16th Street and Orange Avenue, including improvements to underground water/sewer infrastructure, to sidewalks and driveways, and to surface pavement. With local traffic exceptions, stretches of 1st Avenue between 9th Street and 13th Street are closed to through traffic. Through mid-October, 1st Avenue is closed between 9th Street and 10th Street. 10th Street remains open for resident and business access. 1st Avenue will remain closed between 11th Street and 13th Street.
Orange Avenue will be closed on the west side of 1st Avenue, as will the small intersecting portion of 4th Street, through Sept. 20.
Overall, the project is currently scheduled to be complete by the end of 2019.
Harvard Street sewer project - Kennedy Lane
A contractor working for the City is installing a sewer line that will connect to residences along Harvard Street, replacing septic systems for residents that have executed consent forms. Pavement replacement will follow.
In the earliest phase of construction work, Kennedy Lane will be restricted to northbound traffic only north of Harvard Street. Southbound traffic will be prohibited south of 23rd Street. This will affect Gila Vista and Gwyneth Ham school dropoff and pickup patterns that use Kennedy Loop. School parents should prepare for detours and use Arizona Avenue to exit the school areas. This project is federally funded through a Community Development Block Grant under Housing and Urban Development. This lane closure is expected to continue through Sept. 26.
