Kansas City, Kansas, is set to experience major traffic disruptions as the county is proceeding with works on the Metropolitan Avenue bridge. This has necessitated a weekend closure of both the north and southbound lanes. Work on the crucial bridge, which includes a complete replacement of its guardrails, traffic lights and pedestrian crossings, commenced in February with the removal of the old bridge.
The latest phase in the project is the setting of the bridge’s girder. To facilitate this, the Kansas Department of Transport (KDOT) will temporarily suspend all activities on both directions of I-635. From Saturday, June 1 at 4 a.m. to Monday, June 3 until 5 a.m., the following thoroughfares will be fully closed:
In light of the closures, detour signs have been installed and message boards activated to inform drivers of the impending disruption. Motorists are advised to plan their routes ahead to evade any inconvenience that could result from the extensive closures. Simultaneously, residents living along the affected sections are encouraged to brace for increased vehicle movements within their neighborhoods.
The enforced closures, albeit temporarily, will doubtlessly cause widespread disorder. However, authorities are pleading with the public to exercise patience as the critical repair works are conducted. The construction project is deemed necessary to ensure the long-term usability and safety of the bridge. Ultimately, upon completion of works, the Metropolitan Avenue bridge will offer improved facilities for both drivers and pedestrians, contributing positively towards the greater well-being of Kansas City’s population.
For real-time updates on the I-635 closures and the progress of work on the Metropolitan Avenue bridge, residents are encouraged to refer to the official KDOT website or online traffic news feeds.
