(KMZA)--Another block of Seneca’s brick Main Street is to be rehabilitated this year.

The Seneca City Council last week approved a resolution awarding the contract for the project between 6th and 7th Streets to Bryant and Bryant Construction, of Halstead, in the amount of $757,404, and committing $315,000 in local matching funds.

The total project cost is placed at $871,000.  A Kansas Department of Transportation grant awarded to the city in 2017 will cover $556,000 of the project cost, with the city responsible for the remainder.

The city is to submit its share of the funding to KDOT on or before April 11.

The project will rebuild the brick street surface and replace sidewalks similar to  to the 2012 project that rebuilt Main Street from 3rd to 6th Streets.

City Administrator Matt Rehder says the project will begin in early August following the Nemaha County Fair.

The project is scheduled for 120 working days.
