Crews will detonate the northern portion of the truss from the north bank to the Missouri levee. Unlike the previous two blast events, this demolition cannot be seen from public access points. No public viewing will be available.
Northbound and southbound U.S. Highway 69 will be closed from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to accommodate this final event.
This is all part of replacing the current U.S. 69 Highway Bridge over the Missouri River.
A new structure will be constructed in its place and will include multiple lanes and bike/pedestrian access. It will be open to traffic in December 2016.
