Project Description: The intent of this project is to replace a bridge that is near its useful life--which was extended by extensive repairs in 2018. Motorists and freight will be the primary users of this bridge carrying them across the Kansas River. Peak/midday transit service is provided by UGT/KCATA along the 18th Street Corridor. Additional transit riders may also become users of the facility should a higher level of service be implemented along the corridor in the future. The bridge spans both the Kansas River and BNSF rail lines. There is a potential for bike/ped users to be accommodated, on the bridge but this is largely unknown at this time and is pending the outcome of the18th Street Bridge Replacement Study.
Scope: This is a bridge project and a replacement of existing infrastructure along a yet to be determined alignment. Built in 1959, the 18th Street Bridge is one of the few remaining deck trusses on the state system. It has undergone numerous rehabilitations over the life of the bridge.

It seems short sighted to replace the bridge / viaduct without also vastly improving the interchanges at each end of the project, namely Kansas Avenue and Ruby/Metropolitan
