Description
Description | The Brent Spence Bridge expansion project involves building a new companion bridge to the immediate west of the existing Brent Spence Bridge and highway expansion. The project aims to address traffic congestion but has faced criticism for ignoring sustainable transit solutions and burdening neighborhoods and taxpayers. The project cost has ballooned to over $4 billion, with only $1.3 billion funded by the Department of Transportation, and the rest likely coming from local taxpayers. The project also involves lane and ramp closures that will impact small businesses and residents, and will cause environmental damage including destruction of wetlands and public spaces. |
