(KAIR)--Motorists can again travel the 800 block of Atchison's Commercial Street.
According to a post on the City of Atchison's Facebook page Thursday afternoon, the location has been reopened to traffic.
According to information posted by Assistant City Manager Justin Pregont to the City's website, the project was primarily funded through an $850,000 federal transportation grant.
The work was undertaken to reconstruct the 800 block of Commercial Street using the same streetscape concepts as those utilized in the 200, 300, and 700 blocks of Commercial Street. The concepts include tree, benches, and pedestrian lights.
Construction began in early February.
