Road Closures, Health Fair, and Weekend Events Shape Yuma’s Friday

Traffic Alert Near 4th Avenue

Drivers in central Yuma are seeing new delays after the city restricted traffic at the intersection of 4th Avenue and 32nd Street. Crews are responding to a sinkhole tied to sewer repairs, and lanes around the intersection remain partially closed.

City officials say the closures are necessary to stabilize the area and prevent further damage. Motorists are encouraged to allow extra travel time and use alternate routes where possible, especially during peak morning and afternoon hours.

Wellness & Care Fair Comes to Civic Center

On Saturday morning, the Yuma Civic Center will host a free community wellness and care fair, bringing together local health providers, fitness instructors, and family-focused activities.

The event includes guided walks with physicians, cooking demonstrations, kids yoga, and informational talks on heart health, stroke awareness, and Alzheimer’s. Organizers say the goal is to make health education approachable and practical for residents of all ages.

Youth Programs and Events Fill the Calendar

This week also marks the launch of several youth-focused efforts across the city. A new youth government program is opening applications, offering high school students a hands-on look at how local government works while building leadership skills.

Meanwhile, seasonal activities are keeping families busy. Camp Inferno continues through the weekend, and multiple community events are drawing residents outdoors despite the cooler winter mornings.

Looking Ahead

With infrastructure repairs underway and a full slate of health and youth programming, the next few days highlight both the challenges and the momentum shaping daily life in Yuma. City staff say updates on road conditions and upcoming events will continue as work progresses.
