KYTC has coordinated with ODOT to ensure crews can safely resume work on the main span of the bridge, which was not impacted by the fire. The KYTC repair project began on Monday, July 15. The fire did not impact any KYTC repairs that have already been completed on the bridge.

Crews have completed repairs on the northbound bridge, and will utilize the I-471 southbound highway closure currently in place to expedite the southbound bridge repairs. Work should be completed in several weeks, well ahead of the Dec. 1, 2024 expected completion date.​

Further information regarding this construction project can be located in the Campbell County section of the Roadshow.
