Crews will begin tearing down the Downtown Plaza in Sacramento on Friday, making way for the city's new sports and entertainment complex.

Watch report:Downtown Plaza demolition to start Friday, making way for new arena

Officials with the Sacramento Kings said construction will start at 6 a.m.

The construction will mark the beginning of two years of work at the site.

The city of Sacramento was waiting on a contract to sell bonds to fund the construction of the arena to close before starting demolition of the Downtown Plaza.

That agreement closed Wednesday.

"What happens now is the project in phases is fully funded -- the city side and the team side. The project can now move forward," said Russ Fehr, treasurer for the City of Sacramento.

The city has pledged $255 million toward the total construction cost of the sports and entertainment center.

In the remaining West Plaza shopping section, the owner of River City Brewing Company was anxiously awaiting the announcement

Beth Ayers-Prio will be adjusting employee schedules to increase the number of people on duty to serve expected new patrons, the construction workers.
