Show Notes
Northland drivers in Kansas City face nearly six years of construction on U.S. 169 and I-29/I-35, starting August 2026 and wrapping up in 2032. The project aims to rebuild and replace aging bridges near the Kit Bond Bridge, adding a fourth southbound lane on East Front Street. These bridges, built in 1953, require constant repairs and serve as vital links between the Northland and downtown. Recent bridge projects have caused delays, and this project will close some exits, potentially congesting the Fairfax, Heart of America, and Chouteau bridges. Residents can provide feedback until March 27th, with plans including a trail along Levee Road and discussions with railroad companies.
