Bridge Replacement Project on Ernstbridge Road (CR 1021) in Kenton County Begins Monday, March 17
Existing bridge to remain open until new structure is complete
COVINGTON, Ky. (March 14, 2025) – A bridge replacement project on Ernstbridge Road (CR 1021) in Kenton County is set to begin Monday, March 17.
The project will replace the bridge on Ernstbridge Road, which was built in 1920 and currently carries traffic over the CSX railroad. The structure has been deemed structurally deficient, prompting the need for a new crossing.
Starting Monday, March 17, contractors will begin clearing work at the project site. The existing bridge will remain open to traffic throughout construction, minimizing disruptions for motorists. However, travelers should expect occasional minor delays due to work in the area.
Sunesis Construction Co. has been awarded the $3.47 million contract for the project, which is managed by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The overall project has an expected completion date of Nov. 1, 2025.
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.
