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.
