Drivers in Ottumwa will need to plan for a temporary road closure beginning Monday, June 8.
McKinley Avenue between West Finley Avenue and Greenwood Drive will be closed to through traffic while crews install new curbs as part of the city’s annual Asphalt Street Repair Program.
The project is expected to take a couple of weeks to complete, weather permitting. During construction, motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes to avoid delays.
City officials also remind residents and travelers to use caution when driving or walking near the work zone and to follow all posted signs and detours.
The curb work is one phase of the city’s ongoing efforts to improve street conditions and infrastructure throughout the community.
