Beginning Friday, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) will be demolishing a bridge that passes over I-235 in northwest Wichita. The demolition of the 25th Street bridge over I-235 is set to be completed by 6 a.m. on Monday. The work is part of a nearly $20 million project which will include the rebuilding of five bridges that pass over I-235. KDOT says I-235 traffic will be rerouted through the area. Traffic will be reduced to a single lane, and existing ramps will be used to avoid the project. After the demolition, motorists will no longer be able to get to I-235 from 25th Street until a new bridge and new ramps are built. The 25th Street bridge is expected to be finished in November. -- Follow Abigail Beckman on Twitter, @AbigailKMUW To contact KMUW News or to send in a news tip, reach us at news@kmuw.org .
