KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Not just one but two semi crashes have happened in the past two weeks along a stretch of highway on the Paseo Bridge.

The latest one was just last night when a little after 7:30 a truck flipped on the highway spilling soybean meal all over the ramp and shutting down the roadway for hours.

Official from the Missouri Department of Transportation told KCTV5's Shaun Broyls that the problem was excessive speed.

"Cars really need to slow down and pay attention to what they're doing," said MoDOT project director Brian Kidwell.

The accident comes on the heels of another wreck just a couple of weeks ago when a semi crashed at the same location spilling 400 gallons of hydrochloric acid and once again shutting down the highway for hours.

Luckily no one was killed in either incident, but motorists are taking notice and choosing to avoid the area.

"I stay off that thing 'cause it's a pain sometimes," said Joe Reece. "Traffic is horrible. They got it going in all certain ways. I just stay off of it."

Drivers are also starting to wonder if speed isn't the only problem with the stretch of road. Some people told KCTV5 that the construction, lane closures and detours are confusing and might be to blame for the many problems that are happening on the bridge.

"That little downhill right after the bridge, it's not safe," said motorist Al Sobity. "Maybe they don't have any other option, but it's not safe to drive."

MoDOT officials said that's not a fair assessment.

"If you go through there at 40 mph or less, it's very easy to navigate," said Kidwell. "The problem is if you go any faster it gets more difficult."
