Ohio and Kentucky have put out the call for companies to apply to provide construction and design services for the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project.
The request for proposal, which is a document that solicits bids from qualified contractors to complete a project, was released this week.
Groundbreaking is expected to begin in late 2023, and bids are due by March 31.
“Just a month ago, we celebrated a historic $1.635 billion in federal grant funding to build the new bridge crossing over the Ohio River and improve the enter Brent Spence Bridge Corridor with no tolls,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “This is a huge step that gets us one step closer to fulfilling the dreams of thousands of travelers by providing traffic relief, increased safety and a boost to our nation’s commerce.”
A firm is expected to be selected in May, allowing for planning to take place and initial construction to begin before year’s end, according to a press release from the governor’s office.
