MoDOT Videos Shows Demolition of Buck O’Neil Bridge

MoDOT has released more video of the demolition of the middle arch of the Buck O'Neil Bridge that occurred April 2.

The original video was released on the day of the explosions 10 days ago.

The John Jordan “Buck” O'Neil Memorial Bridge (formerly the Broadway Bridge), is a triple arch bridge carrying U.S. Highway 169 over the Missouri River and serving as a key regional connection between downtown Kansas City and communities north of the river.
