Nichols Street in Fulton reopens to limited traffic nearly a week after building collapse

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A street in the Brick District in Fulton has reopened to limited traffic nearly a week after a building collapsed, according to a press release from the Fulton Fire Department.

The front of a building at 505 Nichols St. collapsed Wednesday, June 17. It led to the closure of the 500 block of the road for several days.

The release says the street and a parking lot were reopened after an inspection report from a structural engineer determined “there does not appear to be an immediate concern regarding the overall stability of the remaining structure, and therefore the east side of S. Nichols Street can be reopened to traffic.”

On-street parking near the collapsed building is still restricted, per the release. The city issued a 10-day nuisance notice to the property owner to remove debris from the sidewalk, the release says.
