Business and community leaders have formed a group to seek funding for a new bridge linking Ohio with northern Kentucky at Cincinnati. The organisation, Coalition for a New Bridge, says that replacement of the 39-year-old Brent Spence Bridge is vital both for businesses and residents. More than 149,000 vehicles now cross the bridge daily, against an original recommended capacity of 80,000. A US$2 million feasibility study into the scheme is already being carried out for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
