(KNZA)--Motorists trying to get down Sabetha’s Main Street will have to find a alternate route.

According to Assistant City Administrator Bill Shroyer,  Main Street will be closed beginning Thursday, January 19th between 3rd and 4th Streets for a sewer line replacement project.

Shroyer says the project should be completed in 7 to 10 days  

He says the project — along with several others throughout the city — is part of a larger project to correct problems with the inflow and infiltration of groundwater and rainwater into the city’s sanitary sewer system.
