  At the 2.5-GeV ring of the Photon Factory (PF), a large reconstruction of the lattice around the straight sections* has been accomplished in 2005. As a result, four short straight sections of 1.5 m have been newly created, and the lengths of the existing straight sections have been much improved. For example, the length of the longest straight section has been extended to 9 m from 5 m. The optics has been optimized for installing short-period narrow-gap (in-vacuum) undulators at the new straight sections. The reconstruction work on the ring was held from March to September 2005. In the range over two-thirds of the storage ring, all the quadrupole magnets and all the beam ducts have been renewed and rearranged. Commissioning of the storage ring was started from the end of September 2005 and continued for one month. The operation for the user experiment was resumed from the end of October on schedule. Though we made no in-situ baking after the installation for the beam ducts, the vacuum scrubbing by the synchrotron radiation is running very well. The product of the beam lifetime and the beam current exceeded 700 A min for the operation current 450 mA at the end of December 2005.
