City of Yuma issued the following announcement on Dec. 2.

City Projects

32nd Street and Avenue 3-1/2E

From Monday, Dec. 6 to Thursday, Dec. 9, the traffic signal power at 32nd Street and Avenue 3-1/2E will be shut down for maintenance work. The City will upgrade the traffic signal at this intersection. 32nd Street traffic will not stop, and 3-1/2E traffic movements will be right-turn only during this phase of work, with no left turns permitted. Detour using Avenue 3E.

North Frontage Road, Avenue 9E to Avenue 10E

A contractor working for the City will reconstruct pavement on North Frontage Road starting at Avenue 9E and working east toward Avenue 10E. Subsequent work will reconstruct Avenue 10E from North Frontage toward 28th Street. This project will involve full road closures in sections that will at times require long detours. Motorists should plan on extra time, particularly with pickups and drop-offs at Sunrise Elementary and Ron Watson Middle schools, and familiarize themselves with detour routes including Araby Road and Fortuna Road for north-south traffic and 24th Street, 28th Street and South Frontage Road or Interstate 8 for east-west traffic.

Additionally, Southwest Gas will replace 6,000 feet of main gas lines along the shoulder of North Frontage Road closer to Avenue 10E. This work will prompt a reduced speed limit, and flaggers will direct some traffic at times.

Yuma Commerce Center sewer line extension - 7E closure

Avenue 7E is closed to all traffic between 30th Street and 32nd Street for sewer line and manhole installation. Business access detour is from the west end of 30th Street via Araby Road or from North Frontage Road/Avenue 8E from the east end of 30th Street. This phase of work will last through at least mid-December.

A contractor working for the City is installing a sewer line extension, new sewer manholes and new sewer line services in the Yuma Commerce Center, affecting the following roadways:
