BHS Construction has announced that there will be a major infrastructure and streetscape improvement project in Manhattan's Aggieville sector that will begin following Kansas State University’s Spring graduation, about May 19th.
Phase One of construction will begin at the intersection of Moro Street and North 12th Street, with an anticipated completion date of mid-June. This initial phase includes critical upgrades to essential utilities—water, sewer, and stormwater systems—laying the groundwork for safer, more accessible streets and sidewalks. Upgraded infrastructure will also improve emergency response readiness and ensure long-term reliability.
From North 12th Street (Moro to Alley) improved streetscapes will include repaved sidewalks, outdoor dining/seating and more. These improvements are designed to support local businesses, enhance community event flexibility, and provide a more pedestrian-friendly environment for both residents and visitors. While phased street and sidewalk closures will be necessary, the construction schedule has been planned to minimize disruption and maintain access as much as possible.
Project Timeline & Key Milestones:
• Moro Street & North 12th Street Intersection: Estimated completion June 2025
• North 12th Street (Moro to Alley): Estimated completion November 2025
• Alleys: Estimated completion October 2025
• North 12th (Alley to Laramie): Estimated completion January 2026
BHS Construction is partnering with the Aggieville community on this project. It's a lasting investment in the future of Aggieville.
