Crews Plan to Demo Wornall Road Bridge This Weekend, Will Impact Wornall Road and I-435

KANSAS CITY – The Missouri Department of Transportation has plans to demo the Wornall Road Bridge over I-435 this weekend. Beginning Saturday, Jan. 26 at 5 a.m., crews will CLOSE the left lane on the collector-distributer side of westbound I-435 from Holmes Road to nearly State Line Road.

At 5:30 a.m., they will CLOSE Wornall Road in both directions at I-435. They will also CLOSE the westbound Wornall Road exit ramp. At 6:30 a.m. they will CLOSE the right lane of westbound I-435 on the express lane side from Holmes to halfway between Wornall and State Line Roads.

All lanes of westbound I-435 are expected to reopen by 7 a.m. on Sunday morning and Wornall Road and exit ramps are expected to reopen by 9:30 a.m.

All work is weather dependent.
