The westbound lane of Willis Avenue between 1st and 2nd streets will be closed this morning for a few hours, as Hotel Pattee is once again bringing in some heavy machinery.

As was the case last month, the hotel is installing some rooftop equipment, which will require a crane placed in front of the building. The work is expected to run from 7-10 a.m. today, during which time motorists will need to find a route that doesn’t include that section of Willis. Anyone with questions is encouraged to reach out to Perry City Hall at 515-465-2481.
