Traffic was getting turned around Monday.

Ottawa’s Green Street and Canal Road between Chapel Street and Old Chicago Road closed to all vehicles and pedestrians Monday and is not expected to reopen until December.

The closure will be in place throughout the entire day during the final phase of the Green Street elevation project. The construction will raise the roadway out of the special flood hazard area.
