Summary
Following a Kansas Department of Transportation inspection, the Altamont City Council voted Nov. 13 to close the Meade bridge between 13000 and 14000 for safety reasons; the motion passed with Councilmembers Wiford, Julich and Sellers in favor.
The Altamont City Council voted Nov. 13 to close the bridge on Meade between 13000 and 14000 after a KDOT inspection identified concerns, with Councilmember Kyle Wiford moving and Councilmember Tyler Julich seconding the motion. The motion carried without a roll-call breakdown beyond the meeting record showing the vote passed.
Councilmembers said the closure follows the KDOT inspection report; the council did not provide a timeline for repairs during the meeting. The action was recorded in the meeting minutes as an immediate closure "based on the KDOT inspection," and the council listed no alternate route or reopening conditions during the public record. The council resumed regular business after the vote.
