Ames South Riverside Drive To Close On Monday

Press release from the City of Ames:

July 2, 2020

South Riverside Drive will close on Monday, July 6, as work begins on the reconstruction and new concrete street paving. The City of Ames has contracted with Con-Struct Inc. to extend South Riverside Drive and Collaboration Place and install associated storm sewer improvements. The entire project will be completed in four phases and is expected to continue until early November. Plans include the addition of a shared use path along part of the west side south of Airport Road.

Residential properties and John Deere access will be maintained from the south via 265th Street.

Those in the area are encouraged to take note of construction activity and allow extra travel time as delays may occur. Exercise caution when traveling near the construction area. As with all paving operations, saw cutting of joints in newly poured pavement is critical, and it may be disruptive beyond normal work hours. For safety reasons, please keep children and pets away from the construction zone.
