The northbound lane of Clinton Street between West Main and West Madison streets in Ottawa will be closed to traffic and on-street parking beginning at 7 a.m. Thursday, June 5, to allow contractors access for tree removal work.

Crews are expected to complete the project and reopen the block to traffic by the early afternoon, weather permitting, according to the city.
