I-75 Reopens Early After Bridge Demolition

Southbound Interstate 75 in Cincinnati reopened on April 19, significantly ahead of its original schedule. The reopening occurred after the complete demolition of the Linn Street Bridge, a key component of the broader Brent Spence Bridge Corridor project. The original closure was slated to extend until April 20, but crews successfully removed the final section of the bridge earlier.

The Linn Street Bridge, situated between West Court and West Eighth streets, is being replaced as part of a $46.7 million initiative. The new structure will feature two driving lanes, a reduction from the previous five, and will incorporate dedicated bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides. This redevelopment is designed to improve the connection between Cincinnati's West End and Queensgate neighborhoods.
