The Kansas River/Cesar Chavez bridge will close to all traffic on Monday, August 30, for repairs.

The closure is required due to the weight of the equipment being used to replace a joint and perform friction plate crack repair.  Work will take approximately 30 days to complete.

Motorists are encouraged to slow down and follow detour signage:

  • Westbound traffic will be routed to American Royal Drive and continue to I-670
  • Eastbound traffic will be routed to I-670 by Kansas Avenue and 7th Street
