A major road construction project will soon be underway in Kiel.
The city council approved awarding a bid for the reconstruction of 4th Street to Don E. Parker Excavating out of Hortonville for about $1.6 million.
According to city documents, seven contractors put in a bid for the project, but Parker was the lowest.
The project looks to include the removal and reconstruction of the roads, sidewalks, and water and sewer lines.
City Administrator David Funkhouser says the road has been in bad shape for a long time and needs to be completely overhauled.
