City Of Ames: 13th Street Closed To Westbound Traffic For Two Days Beginning Monday

Press release from the City of Ames:

11/12/2021 11:30 AM

To complete paving while keeping construction workers and the traveling public safe, 13th Street from Clark to Duff avenues will be closed to westbound traffic from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 15 and 16. One lane will remain open for eastbound traffic during these times. The westbound lane will reopen to traffic at 4 p.m. each day. Access to Burnett, Kellogg, and Douglas avenues north of 13th Street remains closed, but driveway access to McFarland Clinic and Mary Greeley Medical Center from 13th Street will be open. 

Paving will take place from Douglas to Duff avenues on Monday and from Burnett to Douglas avenues on Tuesday. This is the final paving operation for the 13th Street project for this year’s construction season.  

The City of Ames has contracted with Con-Struct to complete this project, which includes the reconstruction of 13th Street from Wilson to Duff avenues. In addition to new concrete street pavement, the 13th Street project also includes storm and sanitary sewer improvements, water main replacement, residential water transfers, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sidewalk ramp improvements.

All are encouraged to take note of this construction activity in the area and allow extra travel time as delays will occur. Please consider using 20th Street as an alternate route during the paving operation as this will help reduce congestion and allow for a safer work zone. As always, caution should be exercised when traveling through the construction area.
