IMPROVING THE CONNECTIONS WE NEED

The KY 8 Licking River Bridge is a critical connection for commuters, freight, pedestrians, and bicyclists traveling between Covington and Newport. Built in 1936, the current bridge has exceeded its original design life.  With significant development occurring in Covington and Newport, a replacement bridge is necessary to support the growing needs of all travelers using the KY 8 Licking River Bridge crossing.

“This project represents our commitment to improving safety and connectivity for all road users now and well into the future in a region teeming with growth opportunities,” said Governor Andy Beshear.
