Ottawa officials say the First and Main streets intersection will close to through traffic Monday and Tuesday to prepare for two water line crossings. A detour via K-68 and Second Street will guide traffic with signs and a detour board. The work is part of replacing water mains from the Marais des Cygnes River bridge to Fifth Street, with an estimated 165 working days to complete.

Man cleans dam road with trash pickers for Ottawa area
Stan Nichols walks the gravel road to the Second Street Dam along with his dogs Josey and Lilly each morning. He picks up trash along the route since February, noting graffiti and litter from nearby sites and praising a city effort to grade the road and install signs urging cleanliness. He recalled memories of biking to the dam built in 1952 and questioned why litter persists in the throw away era.
