The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) managed a routine maintenance project to clean and paint the Brent Spence Bridge.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Brent Spence Bridge is a major thoroughfare for both local and national traffic, connecting two states that are critical to the movement of people, goods, and services.
