Construction on Iowa State’s new residence hall being built next to Buchanan Hall, will require the city of Ames to close two lanes of Lincoln Way starting Monday.

The east bound lanes of Lincoln Way between Ash Avenue and Beach Avenue will be closed beginning at 7 a.m. Monday morning, and eastbound drivers will be diverted to the westbound lanes for a head-to-head traffic configuration.

This new construction is similar to the current construction setup on Lincoln Way between University Boulevard and Elm Avenue.

The city said construction will be completed by noon Thursday, Sept. 3. Drivers should expect delays during construction and should consider an alternate route.
