(KLZA)-- The City of Falls City is informing business owners and the public that a construction project on Old Highway 73 and Bill Schock Boulevard has been delayed due to recent rains.

The October 13th start date has been delayed with a new start date of Wednesday, October 18th. Milling the street surface will begin on the 18th and the asphalt overlay will begin on October 20th.  

The City Street Department will remove all signs from 35th Street south to Highway 73.  The City discussed with the post office, temporarily moving mailboxes back away from the street so businesses can continue to receive their mail during the construction. 

Once the project is completed, mailboxes will be put back permanently by the Street Department. If you have any questions, feel free to contact City Hall at 402-245- 2707 or the Falls City Police Department at 402-245-4422.
