In Case You Missed It: KY 8 Licking River Bridge Project Timeline Announced
KYTC District 6 has announced a revised construction timeline for the KY 8 Licking River Bridge connecting Covington and Newport. The current bridge will be demolished in Spring 2026, with construction of a new arch-style bridge expected to last approximately two and a half years. The new crossing will open to traffic by Summer 2028, offering enhanced safety and connectivity for motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users.
A pedestrian/bicyclist shuttle service will operate during the closure, and the new design will include ADA-compliant shared-use paths and traffic calming features. The decision to fully close the bridge during construction was made to improve safety and reduce the project timeline by about a year.

KENTON AND CAMPBELL COUNTIES
A preventive maintenance project began on Tuesday, June 24, on multiple routes in Kenton and Campbell counties.
The project includes crack sealing, electrical work and application of a thin asphalt overlay known as a thinlay. Thinlays are used as a pavement preservation treatment to restore surface conditions and extend the service life of roads that are still structurally sound.
Crack sealing operations took place this week. The sealed areas will require a 30-day curing period before paving can begin. Pavement work is tentatively scheduled to begin in late July.
Locations of work:
Madison Pike (KY 17), Kenton County — From Moffett Road (KY 2042) at mile point 7.97 to just north of KY 14 at mile point 4.94.
Alexandria Pike (U.S. 27), Campbell County — From Bluegrass Avenue at mile point 20.49 to Moock Road (KY 1632) at mile point 19.84.
Dixie Highway (U.S. 25), Kenton County — From Hallam Avenue at mile point 6.26 to Carran Drive at mile point 7.88.
Prior to paving operations on Dixie Highway, crews will remove the existing Qwick Kurb lane separators from the southbound left turn lanes into Crestview Hills Town Center. The existing Qwick Kurb will be reinstalled following completion of the thinlay.
The project has a completion date of Sept. 30, 2025.
