The Kansas Avenue Bridge (West) is a four lane, multi-beam girder bridge crossing the #KansasRiver, and a small company on the east side. It was first built in 1916 as a 9 span thru-truss, but later in 1988 destroyed, and replaced with the current multi-beam girder bridge. It is just west of the #18thStreetExpresswayBridge.

The watershed of the Kansas River in the US is quite visually appealing. This river flows into the Missouri River which flows into Mississippi! Learn more about water in my Water Droplet newsletter. https://open.substack.com/pub/thewaterdroplet #watershed #kansasriver #waterdroplet

The Kansas River will see reduced water flow starting November 1st due to ongoing drought conditions. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is taking this action as a result of water levels in the Tuttle Creek Reservoir falling below a key threshold.

Reservoir Levels and Drought Contingency Plan

While current reservoir levels are higher than last year, they remain below optimal levels. Drought continues to impact 86% of the Kansas River Basin. Spring rains helped initially, but levels have since declined.

  • Milford Reservoir: One foot below the multi-purpose pool.
  • Tuttle Creek Reservoir: Five feet below the multi-purpose pool.
  • Perry Reservoir: One foot below the multi-purpose pool.

These reductions are part of the drought contingency plan for the Tuttle Creek, Milford, and Perry Reservoirs.

Impact on Farmers and Resources

Drought conditions have significantly impacted Kansas farmers throughout the year. Governor Laura Kelly recently announced $9 million in relief funds from the Inflation Reduction Act to help alleviate these challenges.
