The Kansas Highway 5 bridge over the Union Pacific railroad tracks just south of Sunshine Road is closed for replacement of the bridge deck. The closure covers all lanes until December 2025, then the bridge will partially reopen until the full project is complete in May 2026.

KDOT recommends the following detour routes:

Northbound K-5

  • Travel east on K-5/Sunshine Road and turn right onto Fairfax Trafficway to travel south and use the westbound I-70 entrance ramp.
  • Travel west on I-70 and use the northbound I-635 ramp.
  • Travel north on I-635 to use the northbound K-5/Leavenworth Road ramp.

Southbound K-5

  • Travel north on I-635/K-5 to exit at Horizons Parkway in Missouri.
  • Turn left on Horizons Parkway and travel north, then turn right onto MO-9/NW River Park Drive and travel east to use the southbound I-635/U.S. 69 ramp.
  • Travel south on I-635 to use the southbound U.S. 69 ramp, then travel south on U.S. 69 to use the southbound K-5 ramp
