(KMZA)--Dirt work has begun for the construction of the new 34-bed Nemaha County Jail in Seneca.
The County Commission last month accepted a total bid of nearly $4.6 million for the construction of the 15,000-square-foot facility, which is to be attached to the current county Law Enforcement Center.
AHRS Construction of Bern is serving as construction manager at risk on the project.
The county is financing the new jail addition through existing capital outlay funds.
The current 15-bed jail was built in 1978.
The Seneca City Council agreed last week to allow the contractor to block 7th Street from Nemaha to Pioneer Streets during construction of the new jail for safety reasons. The street will be open for traffic during the evening hours.
