Polo Fields cannot be accessed from 151st Street and Stateline as the bridge is closed. To access the fields you must come in from the east on Holmes Road and turn on Kenneth Road.

The latest information we have received from Jackson County regarding the bridge can be found below:

"Unfortunately, though a construction project to replace the Kenneth Road bridge has been in the planning process, the bridge was close prematurely due to overweight loads that damaged the structure beyond reasonable repair. The construction project is slated to begin next year. However specific dates for the project and its completion have yet to be determined. More specifics will be available after the design work is complete and a contractor has actually bid the project."
