“We’re able to extend the street grid from downtown to the Queensgate area,” said Tommy Arnold, Brent Spence Bridge Corridor, project manager. “We’re dramatically increasing the amount of bike and pedestrian facilities that go along with that street grid field. So, again, really addressing that, public feedback in the design of the project.”

Construction is expected to begin by 2026.
