Completed on schedule and under budget, this new GBA-designed bridge provides an important link to the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts!
A brilliant late-summer day was the backdrop for a ribbon cutting ceremony marking the successful completion of the Broadway Bridge over I-670 in downtown Kansas City! GBA and the GBA BBQ team catered the event, creating a festive atmosphere on the bridge deck next to Bartle Hall, where representatives from MoDOT, the project team, stakeholders, media (see Fox 4 coverage here), and the public celebrated a job well done! 
Completed just in time for the opening of the Kauffman Center (the bridge will open later this week, the Kauffman Center on September 16), the critical schedule kept everyone on their toes.
GBA delivered final plans on February 14, 2011, just three months after receiving notice-to-proceed! Clarkson Construction started work in early May and delivered the completed project just five months later!
The new structure includes wider, safer sidewalks for pedestrians and some nifty, decorative railings designed by el dorado architects!
Right now the bridge is scheduled to open by this weekend. Take a drive or walk the route; there's a lot going on and it's all exciting for Kansas City!
