Second I-75+I-71 Brent Spence Bridge over Ohio River at Cincinnati, OH

(Satellite, the new bridge will be just downstream of the old bridge.)

The Walsh Group posted two photos with the comment:

The design of the companion bridge for the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project has been unveiled, marking a major milestone in the 8-mile infrastructure transformation that will enhance safety, reduce congestion, and reconnect communities across Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky! 

The cable-stayed design, selected for its function, aesthetics, and cost efficiency, will create a new regional landmark while easing one of the nation’s most critical freight bottlenecks.

With federal approval of the bridge type now in place, the Walsh Construction - Kokosing Construction design-build team will advance the project into final engineering and construction. The new companion bridge will carry I-71 and I-75 traffic, while the existing Brent Spence Bridge will be reconfigured for local use, delivering long-anticipated improvements to mobility, safety, and economic growth throughout the corridor. https://brentspencebridgecorridor.com/governors-dewine.../

Mike Hilgendorf: Breaking ground 2050!!

Mike Tierney: Mike Hilgendorf I heard that last night.

I believe the current bridge will collapse by then.

I did hear the current bridge is in better condition than the public realizes.

Got that Intel from a reliable source.

Mark Schauer: I don’t hate it. Just wish they’d demo the ugly old one afterwards. [This is the first time I've seen someone call a truss bridge ugly.]
