The City of Ottawa is scheduled to begin reconstruction of Lees Avenue between Main Street and Chestnut Street beginning the week of June 16, 2014. The work is expected to continue until November 2014.

Lane reductions will occur during the work day, however, the road will remain open during construction with access for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles.

Full details of the reconstruction are available here.
