Streetcar track installation is the 'Main' event - Downtown Council of Kansas City

Streetcar construction is taking an exciting new turn this week in Downtown Kansas City.

The KC Streetcar Constructors are beginning to embed track on the west side of the Main Street bridge (between Pershing and 20th Street) beginning this week.

Preparations have been under way for the last few weeks as works have been preparing for this milestone by grinding and milling of 1 to 2 inches of concrete off the existing bridge. Once this work is completed on the west side, crews will move to the east side of the budget.
