Workers Preparing Cincinnati's Brent Spence Bridge for Reopening

Workers put finishing touches on the northbound lanes of the Brent Spence Bridge Tuesday morning.
The Brent Spence Bridge will reopen Tuesday ahead of schedule. The I-71/75 span has been closed since November 11. A crash between two semis triggered a fire damaging about 100 feet of the bridge. Kentucky Transportation Secretary Jim Gray says the repairs were done without cutting corners, and the bridge is safe.
"We thought it would be tomorrow. That was the schedule all along," Gray says. "But through a combination of determined effort, a sense of urgency, and of course favorable weather, we were able to beat our target by a day. That's a big win for everyone."
