Riverfront Extension Construction

Construction of the KC Streetcar Riverfront Extension is making swift progress, with the construction of the new equilateral track switch at 3rd Street and Grand Boulevard completed in early February 2025. This next phase of construction will impact vehicular and pedestrian traffic on the Grand Boulevard Bridge/Viaduct. Starting Monday, February 24, 2025, the Grand Boulevard Bridge will close to all traffic in order for Riverfront Extension crews to build track on the bridge.

Work will include:

• Build tracks on the bridge
• Install additional drainage lines
• Construct a new platform at 3rd Street and Grand Boulevard
• Install track switches at the 2nd Street and Grand Boulevard intersection

Traffic Impacts:

• Grand Boulevard closed between Front Street and 3rd Street.  Access to Chinatown Market is available via Walnut Street and 2nd Street.
