View recent bridge work on the new I-70 Polk-Quincy Viaduct!

Project Description

The I-70 Polk-Quincy Viaduct was constructed in the late 1950s. Since then, bridge condition deteriorated, traffic volumes increased, highway design criteria changed, and the surrounding area has undergone development. The I-70 Polk-Quincy Project, spanning from MacVicar Avenue to 6th Street, will replace the aging viaduct, ease traffic congestion, and improve safety. 

Project Timeline

• 2025: Construction will focus on constructing the new viaduct and widening I-70 west to MacVicar. I-70 remains open in a reduced configuration.
• 2026: Construction will focus on connecting the highway to the new viaduct. I-70 will remain open for a portion of the year in a reduced configuration. Midyear I-70 will be closed between Topeka Blvd. and S.E. 8^th St. for approximately six months. 
• 2027: Construction will focus on completing work on west I-70 and the local city street network. I-70 Polk-Quincy Viaduct will be open in a reduced configuration until all work complete.

Project work and scheduling are conditions permitting and subject to change as the project progresses.
