Project Overview: Westbound Lewis & Clark Viaduct ReplacementThe Lewis and Clark Viaduct is a series of bridges that provide a vital link for I-70 across the Kansas River and connect Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri.

The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) completed a study in December 2012 to examine the condition of each of the nine bridges making up the Viaduct and developed a priority phasing plan for rehabilitation and/or replacement of the existing bridges.

Based on the Lewis & Clark Viaduct study, KDOT is now in the final stages of engineering for the reconstruction of the Westbound Lewis & Clark Viaduct providing a vital link from Kansas City, Missouri to Kansas City, Kansas. The reconstruction project will provide connections to the existing system bridges including I-70 to the west, Minnesota Avenue, Washington Boulevard and Fairfax Trafficway.

The study prioritized replacing the bridges comprising the Westbound Lewis & Clark Viaduct.

The project, highlighted, will replace the westbound viaduct across the Kansas River extending east to the Kansas/Missouri state line.
