Beginning Wednesday, MoDOT will close the 1930s-era Fairfax Bridge for three weeks of emergency repairs. This impacts the southbound lanes of US 69 between Platte and Wyandotte Counties. Automobile traffic will be diverted to nearby I-635, but the closest bicycle crossing is Downtown on the Heart of America Bridge. The northound lanes of US 69 will remain open on the adjacent Platte Purchase Bridge.
