The Amidon bridge is a vital artery for traffic for north and west Wichita. Darrin Smith lives right at the bridge’s south end and says he uses it constantly. “Sometimes two, three times a day just to go over to the grocery stores, or to grab a coffee or just something to eat really quick, or even the gym,” he told KAKE Monday. The City of Wichita started prep work to tear down the bridge and replace in on Monday. It a project that could last up to a year and a half. Smith says the work has led some of his neighbors to be concerned about emergency response to their neighborhood, since the closest fire station to them is north of the bridge.
