State transportation departments in Ohio and Kentucky are spending $3.6 billion to double the number of highway lanes (up to 16) along I-75's Brent Spence Bridge corridor, impacting communities from Camp Washington through the West End in Cincinnati, across the Ohio River into Northern Kentucky, through Covington all the way to Fort Mitchell.
Dig in your heels and help us put people over pavement.
State transportation departments in Ohio and Kentucky plan to spend $3.6 billion to double the number of lanes across the Ohio River and widen I-75 up to 16 lanes from Camp Washington through West End and Covington to Fort Mitchell. This eight-year construction project, under the current plan, will bulldoze 29 homes and businesses, destroy 90 acres of forest, remove pedestrian access at 5th Street in Covington—despite promising a multi-use path—and destroy over 1,500 feet of streams and 4 acres of wetlands. The project includes a 6-year+ causeway in the Ohio River, threatening water quality with increased pollution and habitat disruption. The expansion will ultimately worsen traffic congestion while reducing accessibility, increasing pollution and health risks, destroying greenspace, adding noise, and repeating historic harms to our communities.
There's another way. In early 2026, after six months of canvassing and gathering your input, we've visualized a two-phase alternative that prioritizes people rather than perpetuating car-dependence.
We used your feedback to envision a new Brent Spence Corridor that serves the I-75 communities.
Take a Look
We can transform this highway into urban boulevards that give land back to our neighborhoods. This alternative would restore the historic Willow Run waterway, expand greenspace and tree cover, reconnect our neighborhoods, create space for affordable housing, grocery stores, and local businesses, improve air quality, and provide accessible, sustainable transportation throughout the corridor.
This is our chance to put People Over Pavement and build a better future. The decisions we make today will impact our communities for generations.
