Open houses set to update progress on Spence bridge project

Open houses will be held over two days

                              

COVINGTON, Ky. – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) will jointly conduct two open house events later this month to update the public of progress being made on the $3.6 billion Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project.

One meeting will be in Kentucky and one in Ohio to allow the public to browse exhibits, review project information, provide comments, and talk one-on-one with the project team. The public is encouraged to attend at any time during the three-hour event at their convenience.

No preregistration is required.

The schedule for the two events are: Aug. 23, 4-7 p.m. at the Radisson Hotel in Covington and Aug. 24, 4-7 p.m. at the Longworth Hall in Cincinnati.

State officials say attending one of the open house events is a great way to help track the progress of this massive project.

The Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project is designed to improve approximately eight miles of Interstates 71 and 75 through Kentucky and Ohio, including the addition of a new companion bridge to the west of the existing Brent Spence Bridge to reduce congestion, improve traffic flow and safety, and maintain key regional and national transportation corridors.

The entire project is expected to be completed by 2030.
