(KAIR)--Construction is beginning this week on a series of improvements along Atchison’s Main Street, between 10th and 12th Streets, adjacent to downtown Atchison.
According to a release from the City of Atchison, the project will include construction and/or reconstruction of the curb/gutter, driveway entrances, and sidewalks on Main Street, from 10th Street to 12th Street. Additionally, a new traffic signal will be installed at the intersection of 10th and Main that includes a protected left turn for northbound traffic on 10th Street during the railroad crossing preemption cycle and eliminates the existing cross-beam style signal pole.
The $490,000 construction project is fully funded by grant funds made available through the Kansas Department of Transportation. The City of Atchison is contributing in-kind design and administration services to complete the project.
Tonganoxie-based Kansas Heavy Construction was awarded the construction contract, which the Atchison City Commission approved last year.
The release says that if weather allows, construction will begin this week, and be complete by summer.
