The demolition of Fairfax bridge end trusses is tentatively scheduled to occur at 9 a.m. Friday, Jan. 16, according to Missouri Department of Transportation officials.
Two blast events are tentatively scheduled, including the first on Friday.
Because of variable weather conditions, the demolition may be delayed or rescheduled, according to the highway officials. Larger river trusses of the Fairfax bridge will be demolished at a later date.
A public viewing area has been designated at E.H. Young Riverfront Park, 1001 Argosy Parkway, Riverside, Mo.
The adjacent Platte Purchase Bridge will be closed to traffic from about 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on days when demolition is scheduled, including Jan. 16.
