Press release from the City of Ames:

January 28, 2021

Ames Public Works is finalizing plans to reconstruct Ninth Street from Grand Avenue to Clark Avenue with work anticipated to begin summer to early fall. Due to the pandemic, there is no public meeting planned for this project. However, a project webpage with maps, video, and details about the reconstruction and information to provide feedback is available at www.CityOfAmes.org/9thstreet

Please submit comments to the webpage by Friday, Feb. 12.

In addition to new concrete street pavement, the scope of work for this project includes storm and sanitary sewer improvements, new water main, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramp improvements. The project will be completed in one phase. During construction, access to driveways on Ninth Street and side streets will be restricted for safety reasons and to ease potential congestion of the construction zone. The project is anticipated to be completed in late fall of 2021. As with all projects, the actual duration will depend on weather conditions.
