Governors DeWine and Beshear Mark Major Brent Spence Companion Bridge Milestone by unveiling innovative design
State-of-the-art cable-stayed bridge will create an iconic landmark and Cincinnati skyline view
The selected design is a cable-stayed independent deck bridge. Instead of using a traditional steel truss to support the bi-level bridge’s lower deck, both decks will be supported by a cabling system similar to those used in other modern bridges, such as the Abraham Lincoln Bridge in Louisville and Veterans Glass City Skyway in Toledo. Unlike other double-deck bridges, no steel work will connect the two decks.
