Work will include additional through lanes and the rehabilitatation of existing pavement and bridges. The project will reduce congestion and improve safety. Project extends from the Ohio River through the Western Hills viaduct interchange, and ties into the Mill Creek Expressway project. Purpose and Need The Brent Spence Bridge project is intended to improve the operational characteristics within the I-71/I-75 corridor for both local and through traffic. In the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region, the I-71/I-75 corridor suffers from congestion and safety–related issues as a result of inadequate capacity to accommodate current traffic demand. The purpose of this project is to: • improve traffic flow and level of service, • improve safety, • correct geometric deficiencies, and • maintain links in key mobility, trade, and national defense transportation corridors.

    NINETY EDITORIAL ALT. Ninety-Bines, attention! We ask y o u r aid NINE for your Sister Flyers! The recent termination of recruiting and train­ ing of additional Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) is a matter of sincere regret to all women pilots. This project opened opportunities for women in aviation which have never before been available and offered women pilots a chance to prove that their performance on military aircraft equalled that of TV male pilots. Unfortunately many girls who had been accepted for the June 30th class did not know of its cancella­ tion until they reached Sweetwater, since telegrams notifying them of the order arrived, in many cases, too late. All Ninety-Nines should be cognizant of the facts leading to this cancellation. The Costello NEWS Bill, H. R. 4219, to give military status to the WASP was reported favorably ty the House Military LETTER Affairs Committee. Subsequent to that report but prior to debate on the floor of the House, the July 15, 1944 Ramspeck Civil Service Committee issued a report on an investigation of the 7JASP program which it LEWS LETTER EDITOR had conducted, recommending immediate discontinu­ ance of training, except for those already enrolled. Bettie Thompson, 724 N. 63rd St., Shortly thereafter, H. R. 4219 was killed by vote Philadelphia 31, Penna. of the House.

  • 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.

Box 641, Covington, Kentucky 41012-0641 (859) 491-4003 March / April 2013 Maurice Galvin Covington Stars Baseball Team Maurice Galvin Karl J. Lietzenmayer Apparently, only casual and incomplete re- marks have ever been penned by the Kenton County Society about the political mover and shaker known as Maurice Lee Galvin, Jr. Galvin was a power be- hind the scenes for decades in the first half of 20th century Northern Kentucky as well as for the State of Kentucky. Coming from a working class family, he rose to be one of Northern Kentucky’s most promi- nent lawyers and businessmen. His life story deserves a detailed treatment. This small article is the begin- ning of such a treatment. More research is required to answer several questions regarding the Galvins. Hopefully, some of these questions will be answered in future publication, already planned. Motivation to develop Galvin’s story was prompted by his fine home coming onto the market. Maurice Lee Galvin, Jr. was born in Coving- ton July 9, 1872. He was one of ten children born to Covington blacksmith Maurice (Sr.) and his wife Ellen (Cronin) Galvin.

Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2000 APPROVED: Ronald E.

Smallwood, Committee Member Richard M. Golden, Chair of the Department of History C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Weldin, Sandra J., A.P. Giannini, Marriner Stoddard Eccles, and the changing landscape of American banking. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May 2000, 240 pp., references, 71 titles. The Great Depression elucidated the shortcomings of the banking system and its control by Wall Street. The creation of the Federal Reserve System in 1913 was insufficient to correct flaws in the banking system until the Banking Acts of 1933 and 1935. A.P. Giannini, the American-Italian founder of the Bank of America and Mormon Marriner S. Eccles, chairman of Federal Reserve Board (1935-1949), from California and Utah respectively, successfully worked to restrain the power of the eastern banking establishment. The Banking Act of 1935 was the capstone of their cooperation, a bill that placed open market operations in the hands of the Federal Reserve, thus diminishing the power of the New York Reserve. The creation of the Federal Housing Act, as orchestrated by Eccles, became a source of enormous revenue for Giannini. Giannini’s wide use of branch banking and mass advertising was his contribution to American banking.

  • BRENT SPENCE BRIDGE the HIGH COST of DELAY: the Ohio River’S Brent Spence Bridge in the Cincinnati Area Is a Vital Economic Corridor
    BRENT SPENCE BRIDGE THE HIGH COST OF DELAY: The Ohio River’s Brent Spence Bridge in the Cincinnati area is a vital economic corridor. Not only does it carry thousands of vehicles daily across the Ohio– Kentucky border, the freight that crosses the bridge is equal to 3 percent of the nation’s GDP. In the more than half century since the bridge opened in 1963, daily traffic has grown to more than 172,000 vehicles on a structure initially meant to accommodate only 80,000. The stress placed on the bridge is only expected to grow, and the Federal Highway Administration’s National Bridge Inventory classifies the bridge as “functionally obsolete” because of safety and capacity concerns. Despite the severe need on one of the busiest trucking routes in the United States, investments to replace the Brent Spence Bridge are continually delayed, and local businesses bear the brunt of the consequences. A stalled $2.7 billion proposal to replace the bridge and make associated highway upgrades would provide economic benefits exceeding $18 billion in 20 years, according to the Texas A&M Transportation Institute. But for every day that inaction delays this critical work, the price tag increases by more than $220,000. My employees—and the products that we make—waste valuable time crossing the Ohio River on the Brent Spence Bridge due to the uncertainty of this structure. We need immediate funding to move stalled projects like the Brent Spence Bridge off the sidelines.” Dan Glier President Glier’s Meats, Inc. National Association of Manufacturers | www.nam.org 21.
