Amidon bridge set to open at 3 p.m. Wednesday

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – After a year of detours, the Amidon bridge will open on Wednesday, Nov. 1.

Drivers will be able to use the bridge following a ribbon cutting at 3 p.m.

Construction to replace the nearly 60-year-old bridge started in October 2022.

“I think people are very excited to have this bridge open again. Of course, it connects back to our bike trails, and it’s also going to allow folks to get back to their everyday routine in the morning,” Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple said last week in an interview with KSN News.

The bridge was completed ahead of schedule.
