JACKSON AND CLAY COUNTIES – Crews with the Buck O’Neil Bridge project will close the right lane of northbound Interstate 35 from approximately just south of 12th Street to just west of Broadway Blvd. beginning at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, May 23. This closure will be in place until approximately late June 2023 and is for work on the Case Park retaining wall. All work is weather permitting.
The current Buck O’Neil Memorial Bridge is a triple arch bridge carrying U.S. Route 169 over the Missouri River, and serves as a key regional connection between downtown Kansas City and communities north of the river. While safe, the bridge is nearing the end of its projected service life.

Motorists are reminded to slow down and pay attention while driving in work zones. Not all work zones look alike. Work zones can be moving operations, such as striping, patching or mowing. They can also be short term, temporary lane closures to make quick repairs or remove debris from the roadway.
