New Buck O'Neil Bridge
The New Buck O'Neil Bridge is a beam bridge in Kansas City, Missouri. The bridge spans the Missouri River and connects Clay County, Missouri with Jackson County, Missouri. Construction on the bridge began in 2021 and while the bridge is not complete, it is open to northbound traffic only.[1]
The structure is the replacement for the now demolished Buck O'Neil Bridge.[2][3] The bridge has a budget of $257 million, with some money from the federal government. The New Buck O'Neil Bridge is slated to be open to both north and southbound traffic in December of 2024.[4]
