The plan to revamp the Brent Spence Bridge corridor — including the construction of a companion bridge for the current 60-year-old span — just got a lot closer to reality with a $1.6 billion federal grant. Cincinnati, Ohio and Kentucky officials announced the grant Thursday. They say it's roughly 98.5% of the money the Ohio Department of Transportation and Kentucky Transportation Cabinet asked for. The money comes from two funding sources. The federal Bridge Investment Program will provide $1.385 billion, and a federal Multimodal Projects Discretionary Grant (MEGA) for complex and economically significant projects will provide another $250 million.
