The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has announced it will host a second round of public open houses to provide progress updates on the Route 92 Centennial Bridge Study.

The purpose of the Route 92 Centennial Bridge Study is to examine options for constructing a four-lane replacement bridge spanning the Missouri River located between Leavenworth (Leavenworth County, Kansas) and Platte County, Missouri.

There are two open house opportunities in which the public may participate. KDOT said anyone interested in the study is invited to drop by the open house-style meetings anytime between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 21 or Thursday, July 23.

Tuesday, July 21, 2015 – 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

Thursday, July 23, 2015 – 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

Riverfront Community Center – Riverview Room

At the open houses, attendees will view display exhibits to learn more about recent updates on the progress of the Route 92 Centennial Bridge Study. The study team will be on hand to answer questions about the study and the display boards. No formal presentations will be given.

KDOT said it has identified a future need to replace the Centennial Bridge over the Missouri River. Through data collection, cost analysis and public input, the Route 92 Centennial Bridge Study team is examining the options for constructing a four-lane bridge replacement. This includes determining a preferred location, bridge type, associated costs, potential funding mechanisms and conducting a preliminary assessment of the potential environmental impact. The study process includes the preparation of an Advanced Preliminary Engineering (APE) Report, as well as a Tolling & Revenue Report.
