KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Despite cooler conditions, construction has continued on the new KCI terminal project, which recently reached another milestone.

While the terminal won’t open until March 2023, crews recently hoisted one of the final steel beams of the building that will house ticketing and security.

According to a spokesperson representing workers on the project, the beam has more than 900 names. The beam was also used to collect more than 600 donations for the United Way of Greater Kansas City, totaling more than $90,000.

While the beam won’t be visible to the public once the building is complete, crews plan to have a placard showing where the beam is located.
