( KNZA)--Due to setbacks, the start of the third phase of the Hiawatha downtown streetscape project has been pushed back.
According to a text alert from the city, construction is now set to begin May 1st.
The project had originally been set to begin last month.
Bern-based AHRS Construction will serve as contractor on the nearly $854,000 project.
A grant through the Kansas Department of Transportation will pay for 80 percent of the construction cost, with the city responsible for the remainder.
The project will include improvements in the 800 block of Oregon and the remaining portion of the 500 block of Oregon. The improvements will include new sidewalks, lighting and planters similar to the first two phases of the project.
