9th Street Closed For Reconstruction In Ames

Press release from the City of Ames:

June 2, 2021

Ninth Street from Grand to Clark avenues is closed to traffic to allow a full reconstruction of the road. In addition to new concrete street pavement, the project will include new water main, storm intakes and sewer, and sanitary sewer manhole replacements.

The City of Ames has contracted with All Star and its subcontractor Cooper and Sons for this project, which is anticipated to be completed in seven to eight weeks, weather depending.

During construction, access to Ninth Street from alleys and driveways, and also from Wilson, Clark, and Grand avenues, will be restricted. Access to alleys from Eighth and 10th streets will still be available for residents. CyRide will temporarily detour to Eighth Street between Grand and Clark avenues.

All are encouraged to take note of this construction activity in the area and allow extra travel time as delays will occur. Please use alternative routes if available. As always, caution should be exercised when traveling through the construction area.

For more information, contact Dean Sayre, Civil Engineer II, at dean.sayre@cityofames.org or 515.239.5277. For general construction updates, go to www.CityOfAmes.org/Construction
