Despite the loss of a week’s time after a construction crew involved in Seneca’s Main Street reconstruction project was involved in a double-fatality accident, the $1.5 million project moves forward.

The contractor, Bryant and Bryant Construction of Halstead, began work last August on the reconstruction of three blocks of Seneca’s brick Main Street.
The project was shut down in mid-November and resumed in late February.
An eight member crew with Bryant and Bryant were on their way to Seneca April 16th when they were involved in a head-on collision near Junction City. Seven crew members were injured and the driver of their van, 52-year-old Juan Perez of Wichita was killed. Also killed was the driver of the other vehicle.
Perez’ contribution to the project will be remembered through a sidewalk paver engraved with his name and placed in the new sidewalk in front of City Hall.
The paver was installed last Thursday.
