Work will require double lane closure on the bridge
COVINGTON, Ky. (April 19, 2024) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of evening/overnight lane closures on I-71 and I-75 southbound at the Brent Spence Bridge beginning Sunday, April 21.
Inspectors will be on-site between the hours of 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. A single lane closure will be in place at the approach to the bridge in Ohio on both I-71 southbound and I-75 southbound. A double lane closure will be in place on the southbound portion of the Brent Spence Bridge from the 191.63 mile point to the 191.36 mile point, a distance of 0.27 miles. All lanes will reopen to traffic by 6 a.m.
This portion of the inspection is expected to be completed by Friday, April 26. Inspectors will return in mid-May to the inspection site for another portion of the inspection. KYTC will advise motorists prior to that work occurring.
These lane closures are needed for part of a routine inspection of the bridge. Inspectors will return to the bridge in August for a full inspection.
Motorists are encouraged to find an alternate route to avoid any potential delays.
The date, time, and duration of work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur. Motorists can get Northern Kentucky road construction updates on the District 6 Roadshow.
