The Missouri Department of Transportation closed the Grand Avenue Bridge near the Sprint Center over I-670 in Kansas City, Mo., this morning for emergency inspection.
The bridge – which passed inspection last September — was exhibiting signs of stress fractures and closed for further inspection and possible repairs, according to officials. There is no current estimate for reopening the bridge.
In addition, one or two lanes of eastbound I-670 under the Grand Avenue Bridge must close to allow crews to safely inspect the bridge.
