Ohio and Kentucky transportation officials are seeking letters of interest from firms for a $2.8-billion bridge and highway project linking the two states.
The Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project plan calls for construction of a companion bridge just west of the existing bridge over the Ohio River between Cincinnati and Covington, Ky., plus widening about five miles of the combined Interstate-71 and I-75 in Kentucky and one mile of I-75 in Ohio leading up to the bridges, with an extra lane on both the northbound and southbound sides, project documents specify.
