Kansas City, MO – A hundred-foot section of westbound highway 470 collapsed last weekend and miraculously, no one was injured. This week, the Missouri Department of Transportation looked into the disaster, and already signed a contract for rebuilding that portion of the highway. KCUR's Dan Verbeck followed this story last week. He gave KCUR's Sylvia Maria Gross the lowdown.
