Two lanes of Grand Avenue, from 8th St. to 11th St. will be closed from 4 a.m. – 10 p.m., Tuesday to allow the Ames Public Works Department to complete water valve repairs.

The northbound lanes of Grand Avenue will be closed, and the southbound lanes will be set up as two-lane traffic. For safety reasons, no access will be allowed from 8th St. to 11th St. during the closing.

The city of Ames Public Works Department has scheduled a water main shutdown and water valve replacements on 9th St. and 10th St.  

This activity is expected to take more than six hours.  Water will be off in this area from 8 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. 

Additional water valve replacements are being scheduled on Grand Avenue and 13th St. for later in the summer.  This work will require water to be shut off once more.
