I-435 & Roe Avenue Interchange Bridge Demolition

Four Roe Avenue bridge structures over I-435 in Johnson County were demolished over the weekend to allow for new bridges to be built this summer and fall.  Prior to the blast, crews placed a bed of dirt under the bridges to provide a cushion of sorts to help protect the roadway pavement below.

 
Below is a photo of the bridges prior to demolition and a video showing the actual blast that removed the structures.
