Cincinnati, Ohio – Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Director Pamela Boratyn has announced that the southbound lanes of Interstate 471 approaching the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge will reopen on Sunday evening, exactly 100 days after the roadway was severely damaged by fire.
Through Sunday evening, crews will put finishing touches on the bridge, including grinding and grooving the deck, final welding below the expansion joint seal, and pavement striping.
ODOT will announce an exact reopening time on social media about an hour before the final barricades are removed.
