(KNZA)--The City of Hiawatha has announced that Phase III of the downtown streetscape project will begin Wednesday, March 15, weather permitting.

City Administrator Mike Nichols says construction will begin at the intersection of Eighth and Oregon. From there, he says the contractor will move west on Oregon Street towards Ninth Street. When completed with that block, Nichols says they will move to the intersection of Fifth and Oregon Streets and work in that vicinity.

Bern-based AHRS Construction will serve as contractor on the nearly $854,000 project.

A grant through the Kansas Department of Transportation will pay for 80 percent of the construction cost. The city is responsible for the remaining 20 percent, plus construction engineering costs.

The project will include improvements in the 800 block of Oregon and the remaining portion of the 500 block of Oregon. The improvements will include new sidewalks, lightning and planters similar to the first two phases of the project.
