Avenue C, 8th Street to 1st Street and Figueroa - Yuma County

Yuma County is widening Avenue C from 8th Street to Figueroa Street and 1st Street and installing a City Of Yuma water main. Avenue C has new pavement but continued lane restrictions from 8th Street to Amador Lane. A temporary surface remains in place between Amador and Riverside Drive, so Avenue C is open to local traffic only.

Through traffic should detour using 8th Street and Avenue B to 1st Street.

Crews will cut a trench across 4th Avenue halfway in one direction, place the pipeline, backfill, patch with temporary cold asphalt mix and then reopen 4th Avenue daily on Monday and Tuesday. Then on Wednesday and possibly Thursday, a second contractor will follow up with final permanent paving; a similar pattern of lane restrictions will result.
