Tree clearing and other work for the Brent Spence project will begin near the Riverfront Commons in Covington on April 13. The work will take place adjacent to the trail from the intersection of Highway Avenue, or KY-8, and Wright Street to the east end of the parking lot along the riverfront near the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge.
The work is expected to continue until Thursday, April 30. Crews will be working the site from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Signs and flaggers will be present to help direct traffic.
“Flaggers will help facilitate construction traffic passage and activity,” according to a city announcement. “Trail users may also notice increased trucks crossing the trail within the ABM Waterfront Parking Lot as materials are delivered for work along the Ohio River shoreline. Flaggers will facilitate construction traffic to allow trail users to pass, as well as to ensure safety.”
The upper portion of the parking lot will remain open. Work schedules may be adjusted due to the weather. Visit the Brent Spence Corridor Project’s website to get regular updates on the project’s progress.
