(KNZA)--A brick street restoration project is set to begin Monday, April 8 in Hiawatha.

The project will involve the rehabilitation of the 600 block of Utah Street.

Amino Brothers Company, of Kansas City, Kansas, will serve as contractor on the nearly $800,000 project.

The city was awarded a grant through the Kansas Department of Transportation that will pay for 80 percent of the project cost.

City Administrator Mike Nichols says the contractor will start at the west end of the block and work east.  

The Post Office has temporarily relocated its drop box to the alley behind the office for access during the project.    

The project is expected to be completed around July 1.
