Here are a couple of traffic notes for Ottumwa.  Starting Friday morning (3/5), the 200 block of South Ransom Street will be closed to through traffic.  Residents will still be able to get to their homes, but otherwise, drivers are asked to use an alternate route.  And traffic is limited to one lane at the intersection of Finley and Ward in Ottumwa.  It’s recommended you use an alternate route.  Both road projects are expected to take one week.
