Show Notes
Get ready for a new bridge in Liberty and Independence! The Missouri Department of Transportation is replacing the northbound Liberty Bend Bridge on Missouri Route 291, which has been rated poor since 2020. Construction begins in January 2027 and ends in December 2029, with a $92 million budget. The project includes fixing up the southbound span from 2001. Traffic impacts are yet to be determined, but the bridge sees over 16,000 daily users and could see a 35% increase in traffic over the next 20 years. Attend the open house on April 9th for more details. The old bridge will be demolished by 2026, with some materials recycled. This upgrade aims to improve commutes and accommodate future growth.
