City of Yuma Road Report

CITY PROJECTS

Castle Dome Avenue at 8th Street/Giss Parkway

The intersection of Castle Dome Avenue with 8th Street to the east and Giss Parkway to the west is closed for reconstruction. This three-month project will convert the existing intersection into a roundabout, create access to future anticipated private development to the north and prepare the intersection for eventual improvements to 8th Street as outlined in the City’s Capital Improvement Program. A water line relocation is also part of this project. Traffic is detoured using Rio Vista Drive between

7th Street and 9th Street. The project is on track for completion in mid-June.

16th Street, Avenue B to Avenue C

The reconstruction of 16th Street westbound lanes continues between Avenue B and Avenue C. Once westbound paving is completed, crews will set up lane restrictions in isolated work zones to raise utilities to street grade level. Drivers are advised to use caution. Following that, an additional closure will take place at 16th Street and Avenue C to apply a pavement overlay. Then, milling and repaving eastbound lanes will return traffic to one lane each direction. Overall project completion is expected by the end of June.

4th Avenue, 12th Street

Beginning mid-April through May, a contractor will repair and/ or replace conduit for streetlights in the area of 4th Avenue between 11th Street and 13th Street.
