Downtown Ames Intersection Closes Monday

From the City of Ames

The intersection of Douglas Avenue and Fifth Street was expected to close today and remain closed for about two months.

The closure of this intersection had been delayed to keep the street open to traffic as long as possible. 

Douglas Avenue from Main Street to Fifth Street is undergoing a major street reconstruction that began April 8. The project is estimated to take three months blocking access to motor traffic. Pedestrian access to all businesses will be maintained.
