Editor's note: as of 12 noon Wednesday, the viduct was reopened.

(KAIR)--Atchison drivers, Wednesday morning, will need to use a different route if the 5th Street Viaduct is their normal route of travel.

That's due to the closure of the viaduct, due to a fallen tree. Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson tells MSC News a tree fell on the structure's south end, blocking travel, and leaving both lanes of traffic closed.
