CINCINNATI - Say hello to the Elizabeth Ann.
She is bringing a big crane down the Mississippi River and up the Ohio River to begin construction on the Brent Spence Companion Bridge.
Tracking for the Elizabeth Ann can be found here. She is due in Cincinnati in early June.
Federal and state leaders broke ground on the historic Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project earlier this month.
The companion bridge is expected to open in 2031, with approach work substantially complete by 2033. Early construction activities this spring and summer include approach work for the companion bridge, utility relocations and preparation for bridge foundation work in the Ohio River.
This phase is expected to generate approximately six million hours of work and employ more than 700 skilled tradespeople, with the workforce potentially reaching 1,000 at peak construction.
A timeline and cost of future phases of work of the project, including additional improvements to the overall 8-mile corridor and the rehabilitation of the Brent Spence Bridge, will be estimated closer to the time of construction.
