Brent Spence Bridge repairs on track for re-opening Dec. 23

COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Repairs to a heavily traveled bridge linking Kentucky and Ohio remain on schedule. State transportation officials say the Brent Spence Bridge is on track for a Dec. 23 reopening. The bridge has been closed since Nov. 11. That’s when two trucks collided, resulting in a blaze that damaged a section of the structure. Crews finished installing new support beams this week and are preparing for a new concrete driving surface.
