The I-70 westbound lanes of the Lewis and Clark Viaduct in Kansas City, Kansas, reopened last weekend, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation.
The bridge replacement project was started in 2018 at an estimated cost of $65 million, according to a spokesman. The viaduct connects Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri.
The original bridge carrying the westbound lanes was built in 1962.
Deck work on the bridge will continue this spring, requiring some lane closures, according to a KDOT spokesman.
Additional road condition details are available at www.Kandrive.org. Motorists are asked to be alert, obey warning signs when approaching and driving through a work zone, drive safely and wear a seat belt.
