Access Ramps Will Also Reopen Thursday and Friday
At 9 p.m. this Thursday, August 24, I-71/75 northbound will be reduced to a single lane across the Brent Spence Bridge, weather permitting.

Also this week, crews will begin restoring access ramps that were closed as part of the Brent Spence Bridge maintenance project. The ramps will open according to the following schedule:

Thursday, August 24, by 5 a.m.:
  • I-71/US 50 ramp to I-71/75 South (via Fort Washington Way)

Periodic Nighttime Lane Closures Are Expected to Continue on the Bridge Through Mid-November
Although the 24/7 multi-lane closures will conclude this week, maintenance work will continue on the Brent Spence Bridge through mid-November. During this time, periodic nighttime only lane closures will be necessary. Efforts will be made to limit these closures to a single lane at a time. Additional information will be posted on BrentSpence2017.org and on the project's Facebook page and Twitter feed as it becomes available.
