Some Activity At Raytown's 63rd Street Bridge Replacement



M
any wonder why the City of Raytown MO closed the slated-for-replacement 63rd Street railroad bridge just east of Raytown Trafficway BEFORE the Christmas season.




It does tend to send through traffic away from the 2-3 blocks of 63rd Street "Downtown" Raytown..



Some said they have seen no activity there since the December 1st closing.



CSW dropped by for a photo of the site today and saw this crane and other construction equipment on and around the closed bridge.



We also saw this old tree chopped up on the southwest corner of the Raytown Water Company building's property.



The trunk was about 8-10 feet around- probably lived since the 19th Century. Progress.



We did see 2 actual construction/demolition? workers at the site.



Hey- it WAS lunch hour when we took the photo.





More on this construction project in the months to come.
