Kansas Avenue bridge in Wyandotte County closed after weeklong bridge inspection
The Public Works Department for the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, announced the immediate closure of the Kansas Avenue Bridge over the Kansas River, according to a news release.
The decision to close the bridge at 3 p.m. Friday was made after a weeklong inspection that determined the bridge should be shut down immediately, according to the Unified Government.
It will be closed indefinitely.
The bridge over the Kansas River connects Kansas Avenue with Avenida Cesar E. Chavez. The closure will stretch from River Park Drive on the Kansas side to American Royal Drive on the Missouri side.
Bridge inspectors with HNTB Corp. are expected to complete their report in the coming weeks. The Unified Government will mark the detour routes around the closure.
