Manhattan city officials say the Browning and Dickens Ave. intersection that was supposed to reopen Friday is now delayed, likely until Monday after someone drove around a barricade and through freshly poured concrete that was still curing.
A pedestrian crossing through also damaged the concrete. City workers now have to tear out that portion and repour it.
The well-traveled intersection will reopen early Monday, assuming no further incidents over the weekend, which would be just in time for school resuming after Spring Break.
Anyone with information related to this incident is asked to call the Riley County Police Department.
