  • Kentucky, Ohio Governors to Develop Cost-Saving Plan for Improving Brent Spence Bridge Corridor
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Kerri Richardson, Gov. Beshear’s Office 502.564.2611 502.330.6633 Rob Nichols, Gov. Kasich’s Office 330.760.7582 [email protected] Kentucky, Ohio governors to develop cost-saving plan for improving Brent Spence Bridge corridor Agreement would limit tolls, share cost to create fairness COVINGTON, KY (Jan. 28, 2015) – The governors of Kentucky and Ohio today directed their teams to create a cost-saving plan that limits tolls and moves forward with improving the Brent Spence Bridge corridor. The bi-state, bi-partisan commitment unveiled by Gov. Steve Beshear of Kentucky and Gov. John Kasich of Ohio includes: Lowering the project’s price tag through innovative solutions in design, construction and financing Splitting costs and toll revenues evenly between Ohio and Kentucky Providing a 50 percent discount in toll rates for frequent commuters The two states’ transportation agencies are working together to develop cost-saving solutions by March 30 and build a viable financial plan before year’s end. The plan is expected to include a public-private partnership to build, maintain and finance the project. The bi-state team will focus on the federally approved 2012 environmental plan for the corridor, which calls for building a new bridge downtown, revamping the existing Brent Spence Bridge and improving interstate approaches in Northern Kentucky and downtown Cincinnati. The current plan would double the number of interstate lanes across the river from eight to 16, relieving congestion that causes major safety, mobility and congestion problems for the region. “We simply cannot afford more delay, distraction and gridlock – on the interstate or in the halls of government,” Gov.

  • Contract for Repairs to Spence Bridge Kokosing Construction Co
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Naitore Djigbenou 502.782.4829 [email protected] Contact: Chuck Wolfe 502.892.9038 [email protected] Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Awards Contract for Repairs to Spence Bridge Kokosing Construction Co. submits low bid of $3.1 million, commits to reopening by Dec. 23 FRANKFORT, Ky. (Nov. 16, 2020) – Today, Kentucky Transportation Secretary Jim Gray announced the awarding of a contract to Kokosing Construction Co. to repair and reopen the fire-damaged Brent Spence Bridge that connects Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati. Kokosing, headquartered in Westerville, Ohio, submitted a low bid of $3,127,528 and committed to having the bridge reopened to traffic by Dec. 23. There will be additional costs – the exact amount yet to be determined – for ancillary expenses such as traffic control, construction inspection and additional steel. The bridge, which carries about 160,000 vehicles per day across the Ohio River on Interstates 71 and 75, has been closed since a fiery truck crash in the early hours of Wednesday, Nov. 11. An in-depth inspection of the bridge, supported by laboratory testing, showed that damage was localized and the structural integrity of the bridge was not compromised. “The bridge is safe and sound and sturdy. The damage could have been far worse,” Secretary Gray said. “This has been confirmed through an exhaustive inspection of the bridge, supported by laboratory analysis.” The repair project would have been much more complicated if any of the critical steel support components had been compromised. “Once the lab testing told us the critical supports were still strong and not compromised, the repair job became clear from an engineering and construction standpoint,” Secretary Gray said.

  • Brent Spence Bridge Replacement/Rehabilitation Project
    Brent Spence Bridge Replacement/Rehabilitation Project PID No. 75119 HAM-71/75-0.00/0.22 KYTC Project Item Number 6-17 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PLAN October 2005 Prepared for the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade & Douglas, Inc. and Dan Pinger Public Relations, Inc. October 2005 INTRODUCTION The Brent Spence Bridge and its approaches are key elements of the Interstate Highway System in the nation, carrying traffic on Interstates 75 and 71 in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. This important river crossing is vital to long-distance state and national commerce and is a major thoroughfare for local and regional mobility. I-75 connects the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region with Toledo and Detroit to the north, Atlanta and Miami to the south, and I-74 and US 50 to the east and west. I-75 and the railroads that run parallel to it through this region are among the nations’ busiest. It is the backbone of commerce and travel through the region. According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) estimates, I-75 is one of the busiest trucking routes in North America, with truck traffic approaching six billion miles annually. In addition, more than 250 freight trains per day pass through or have destinations within the I-75 corridor. The interstate portions of this transportation system are nearly 50 years old. Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) are moving to resolve safety and capacity issues that exist within its corridor. As owners of the interstate and its bridges, one of the major projects ODOT and KYTC have identified to improve safety and reduce congestion is the replacement or rehabilitation of the Brent Spence Bridge.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Persevering and Progressing During the Pandemic MAASTO a LETTER from 2021 the PRESIDENT
    MAASTO Mid America Association of State Transportation Officials ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Persevering and progressing during the pandemic MAASTO A LETTER FROM 2021 THE PRESIDENT 2020 was a year that tested our society on every level, including our transportation system. The COVID-19 pandemic, and its impacts on the behavior of drivers and consumers, created both unprecedented challenges and opportunities. The calls for social justice and an end to oppression caused us to renew our focus on the way our organizations and our transportation projects affect issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. And as we scrambled to meet the demands of the present, we were keenly aware of the need to plan for the future of transportation, with the promise of new technologies that will transform our mobility options in profound ways. It was a year in which the value of MAASTO to its member transportation agencies and the people they serve was especially evident. When the pandemic hit, MAASTO provided the perfect platform for transportation leaders in the Midwest to compare notes on the emerging situation and share best practices for maintaining our transportation system and responding to the crisis. MAASTO established an Equity and Inclusion Committee to help us learn from each other, both on creating a more equitable workplace and to understand and promote positive outcomes for communities. And we continued to prepare for the advent of Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) technology, establishing a CAV committee and conducting the second annual MAASTO CAV Summit in October. All the Midwestern states are facing similar challenges to understand how the transportation role of state government will be affected – from changes to laws and regulations to ensuring that this new technology benefits everyone in our states.

  • Brent Spence Repair Project Update
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Naitore Djigbenou 502.782.4829 [email protected] Contact: Chuck Wolfe 502.892.9038 [email protected] Work Progressing on Brent Spence Bridge as Repair Project Timeline Reached Halfway Mark Fire-damaged section of upper traffic deck removed, crews prepare for installation of new concrete driving surface FRANKFORT, Ky. (Dec. 2, 2020) – Kentucky Transportation Secretary Jim Gray today detailed progress on the emergency repair project to reopen the closed Brent Spence Bridge. Three weeks into the six-week repair project, contractor crews have removed the fire-affected portion of the upper deck of the bridge and new steel support beams have been placed. "We literally have all hands on deck as crews work around the clock to restore the bridge to its safe and sound state," said Secretary Gray. "The project remains on track as activities continue this week to prepare for the installation of the new upper deck." Secretary Gray provided the following updates: Early this week contractors finalized installation of the beams and prepared for a new concrete driving surface. Activities this week include the installation of: - metal deck pans where concrete will be poured and serve as a platform for workers on the bridge; - rebar (a grid of steel bars) to reinforce the concrete once it is poured; - and steel connections that tie the deck and barrier wall for added durability. The work currently taking place is not temperature-sensitive and inclement weather should not affect the work schedule. While the repairs on the bridge remain a focus for contractors, KYTC staff are giving significant attention to traffic management in the surrounding area.

  • Kentucky Hospital Research & Education Foundation Emergency
    Kentucky Hospital Research & Education Foundation Emergency Preparedness Update for November 13, 2020 US States Ramp Up Seat Belt Enforcement (From IACP's The Lead) The AP (11/12) reports, “West Virginia highway enforcers are taking part in this year’s Click It or Ticket effort that begins Monday. Anyone caught traveling without a buckled seat belt or traveling with unrestrained children will be ticketed, transportation officials said in a news release.” The AP adds, “The two- week mobilization coincides with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s campaign during the busy holiday travel season. ‘If you knew you would be involved in a crash, wouldn’t you want to be buckled? It’s your best defense against injury or death,’ said Bob Tipton, director of the West Virginia Governor’s Highway Safety Program. West Virginia law enforcement agencies will work with colleagues in Maryland and Virginia on Monday and in Kentucky and Ohio on Nov. 20 in a coordinated effort involving border counties.” ---------- The disturbing surge in Covid-19 hospitalizations (Vox) More Americans are currently hospitalized with Covid-19 than at any other point in the pandemic, a grim indicator that the third big wave of cases in the US may be the worst wave to date. On November 11, 65,368 people across the United States were in the hospital after testing positive for the novel coronavirus, according to data reported by the Covid Tracking Project. That’s significantly higher than the last peak of 59,940 recorded on April 15, when the New York City area was the epicenter of the US outbreak.
