A bridge demolition will close Interstate 70 at the northwest corner of the downtown loop.
Both east and westbound I-70 at Broadway Boulevard will close at 10 p.m. on Friday, April 22 through 5 a.m. Monday, April 25. This will allow the Missouri Department of Transportation crews to remove the old railroad bridge no longer in use.
