flag Ohio and Kentucky will build a $4.4 billion cable-stayed bridge to ease congestion and boost safety, starting in 2026 and finishing by 2031.

flag A groundbreaking for the Brent Spence Companion Bridge is expected this spring, following approval by Ohio’s Controlling Board to finalize construction plans. flag The new cable-stayed, two-level bridge will be built by Ohio and Kentucky, with construction starting this year and completion projected for 2031, though approach work may extend to 2033. flag The project’s cost is estimated at $4.4 billion, with $4.05 billion for construction, driven by a 61% rise in national highway costs since 2020. flag Independent analyses confirm the estimate is accurate within 1.3%. flag The bridge will improve safety, reduce congestion, and support economic growth, generating 6 million work hours and employing over 700 skilled workers, with up to 1,000 on site at peak. flag In Ohio, ramp relocations and bridge upgrades will occur along I-75 and U.S. 50, while Kentucky will begin work on Covington ramps, utilities, and trail closures.
