The U.S. Highway 30 eastbound off-ramp to South Duff Avenue will be closed beginning Monday, June 7, to construct improvements at South Duff Avenue (U.S. Highway 69)/U.S. Highway 30/Billy Sunday Road. Traffic will be detoured to the University Boulevard exit on U.S. Highway 30. The City of Ames has contracted with Con-Struct of Ames for this improvement project.

The first phase of the project will also include construction of a new connection from Billy Sunday Road to South Duff Avenue.
