(KMZA)--The city of Seneca has been awarded a grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation for the rehabilitation of another section of the community’s brick Main Street.

KDOT announced this week that Seneca is to receive a $556,000 grant to rebuild the brick surface on Main Street from 6th to 7th Streets.  

The total project cost is estimated at $695,000.  The city will provide a $139,000 local match.

The project includes waterline replacement, new sidewalks with paver bricks and new street lighting, which is similar to the 2012 project that rebuilt Main Street from 3rd to 6th Streets.

Thirty-four projects were selected for inclusion in KDOT’S Transportation Alternatives program for Federal Fiscal Years 2018 and 2019.

Locally, also selected for grant funding were projects in the cities of Atchison, Hiawatha and Sabetha.
