KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The City of Kansas City, Missouri, and the Kansas City Terminal Railroad have agreed to split the costs of installing a clearance curtain near the Independence Avenue bridge.

The bridge, located near Wilson and Independence Avenues, is notorious for getting crashed into by tractor trailers.

A city spokesperson confirmed KCMO and the KCTR agreed to a 50/50 split for the project, which will cost $150,000.

There wasn't any immediate timeline for when the clearance curtains would be installed.
