If you're out and about tomorrow at 9AM, head on down to Riverside and watch the Fairfax Bridge go boom. Here are the details:
WYANDOTTE/PLATTE COUNTIES - Crews will detonate part of the Fairfax Bridge to help make way for a brand new $79 million replacement bridge. The American Bridge Company plans to blast the end spans of the bridge at 9 a.m. Friday, January 16. The larger section of the bridge will be detonated at a later date.
Crews will close northbound and southbound U.S. 69 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, January 16 to accommodate the blast. MoDOT has designated a public viewing area at E.H. Young Riverfront Park, 1001 Argosy Parkway in Riverside, Mo.
This is being done for the new US 69 river bridges that I wrote about earlier. If you miss it, you can always re-enact the scene at home.....
