Officials on the Kentucky and Ohio sides of the Ohio River are working to keep the public informed about the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project. Thousands of people use the bridge and nearby streets every day, which is affected by work to build a second bridge.
Why it matters
Because thousands of commuters rely on the Brent Spence Bridge and the surrounding streets, ongoing construction affects daily travel for residents of the Cincinnati area. Clear communication about route changes is intended to help drivers plan ahead.
The companion bridge is scheduled for completion in 2031, and the full corridor project is slated to finish in 2033. The source does not specify intermediate milestones or whether these dates are subject to revision.
