US$3.6 billion Ohio-Kentucky bridge

The US$3.6 billion project to build a new bridge spanning the Ohio River and rebuild a 13km stretch of the I-71/I-75 corridor has passed its environmental review. This has been announced by the US Department of Transportation (DOT).

The Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project involves upgrading the highway and building a parallel bridge to the existing steel truss structure. This will improve transport between Ohio and Kentucky and is due for completion in 2032. Jacob Solutions is heading the design work on the 1.6km stretch of the corridor in Ohio. AECOM will lead the design and engineering team for the new bridge itself.
