City Projects

North End pavement replacement project

A contractor working for the City will remove and replace street pavement, water lines, and ADA-standard sidewalk ramps on various streets in northern Yuma, roughly between Avenue A and 4th Avenue. Most of the major street reconstruction work is complete; however, work crews will continue to operate in isolated areas. The overall project is expected to conclude in summer 2024.

12th Street and Avenue C

In early April, the City will convert the intersection of 12th Street and Avenue C into a four-way stop, following pavement preservation work in the area. Motorists should watch for message boards and signs indicating the change.

Avenue 5E, 37th Street to 40th Street

A contractor working for the City is installing water and sewer lines on Avenue 5E between 37th Street and 40th Street, plus new fire hydrants and new service connections, followed by pavement replacement. Avenue 5E will be closed to through traffic between 32nd Street and 40th Street, and to all traffic between 37th Street and 40th Street. Detour using Avenue 4E or Avenue 6E. This project is expected to be complete in early spring.

45th Avenue, 24th Street to 28th Street

A contractor working for the City will construct a multi-use path along 45th Avenue between 24th Street and 28th Street. Most work will occur off the roadway; however, one phase of the project will prompt a closure of 45th Avenue between 24th Street and 26th Street. Project is expected to run through mid-April.

28th Drive, 31st Street to 29th Place

28th Drive traffic is restricted to northbound only between 31st Street and 29th Place for emergency storm drain repair.

Spring pavement preservation

Spring surface treatments are expected to run March 21 through the end of April. Impacted neighborhood property owners will receive a door hanger that indicates the area where the roadway maintenance is taking place as well as the dates and times. Find a complete list of roadways and subdivisions to be preserved on the Pavement Preservation page of the City's website.
