A warning curtain has been installed in front of the notorious Independence Avenue Bridge in Kansas City to alert drivers of the bridge's height and required clearance.
The project cost a combined $150,000 from the city of Kansas City and the Kansas City Terminal Railroad.
Over the years, the bridge has caused numerous accidents involving large trucks due to its 12-foot height in contrast to the standard tractor-trailer height of 13.5 feet.
