Crews will begin restoring the northbound (lower) deck of the Brent Spence Bridge back to a four-lane travel configuration this week, but specific timing has yet to be determined. Officials say they’ll need to reduce northbound travel to just one lane at some point in the week.
All current ramp closures will also remain in place until 5 a.m. Aug. 25. These include:
In Ohio:
- I-71/U.S. Route 50 ramp to I-71/75 south (via Fort Washington Way)
- Third Street ramp in Cincinnati to I-71/75 south
In Kentucky:
- Fourth Street ramp in Covington to I-71/75 North
- I-71/75 south to Erlanger / KY 236 Exits 184, 184A and 184B
The 60-day project started June 23. Officials in charge of the project said additional maintenance work will continue on the bridge through November with periodic lane closures taking place at night.
