KDOT has provided FIA an update on the K-5 Bridge re-deck/repair project:
- KDOT had the preconstruction meeting on 4/30 for the bridge re-deck over the UP-Railroad tracks near Sunshine. KDOT’s contractor, Clarkson Construction, is planning to begin work on the bridge on Monday, May 12th. Click here to view official press release with more details.
- So both inbound and outbound on K5 will be closed until re-deck and repairs are completed.
- Currently, KDOT believes the project schedule is on track to open the bridge to unrestricted traffic both ways by December 31, 2025.
KDOT is planning to place a portable changeable message board near K-5/Sunshine on Monday, May 5th to provide advanced notice to Fairfax District traffic that northbound K-5 (outbound toward I-635) will now also be closing on Monday, May 12th.
