REVISED! Bartle Hall Expansion to Affect South Side of Downtown Loop

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – City of Kansas City contractors working on the Bartle Hall expansion project will close Interstate 670 (the south side of the downtown loop) from 7 p.m. Saturday, June 18, to 5 a.m. Monday, June 20, to remove the Wyandotte Street entrance ramp to I-670. Traffic will be detoured around the north side of the loop during the closure.

The westbound I-670 entrance ramp from Wyandotte, and the eastbound I-670 exit ramp to Central Street, will close at 7 p.m. Friday. The Wyandotte ramp will be removed permanently, and the Central exit ramp will remain closed until a new Central Street bridge is constructed over I-670. The existing Central Street bridge over I-670 is scheduled for removal next weekend.
