The Kansas Department of Transportation, in coordination with the Missouri Department of Transportation, is hosting a public information open house for the K-92 Centennial Bridge replacement project on Tuesday, Feb. 21. The public is invited to attend the open house style meeting anytime between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Riverfront Community Center, 123 S. Esplanade Street, Leavenworth, Kansas 66048.

Replacement of the existing bridge is necessary as the structure is nearing the end of its useful life and major repairs to the steel structure will become more numerous and expensive over time. The project is expected to begin in 2026 and be completed in 2029.

At the open house, attendees can learn about the project background, design process and work schedule. KDOT staff and project team members will be available to answer questions. There will not be a formal presentation.

In addition to the Feb. 21 public meeting, KDOT has launched a project website at www.newcentennialbridge.org.

For those unable to attend the in-person meeting, the website will offer materials presented at the open house, as well as a portal to submit questions and comments through an online form that goes directly to the project team for review. On the website, individuals, organizations and businesses can also sign up to receive project updates via email.

Persons needing special assistance or accommodations for the meeting or would like to request a hard copy version of meeting materials after the open house, can contact the Centennial Bridge project team at 913-766-2198 or connect@newcentennialbridge.org.
