Update Aug. 7, 3:10 p.m.: The end is near, but that's a good thing in this case. Construction on the Brent Spence Bridge has moved into Phase 3, the final stage in a months-long renovation project.

During Phase 3, the two eastern-most lanes on both decks of the bridge will be open for travel. In other words, the right-most lanes on northbound I-71/75 will be open and he left-most lanes on southbound will be open.

According to the Kentucky Transporation Cabinet, once Phase 3 is complete, all four lanes and exits closed for the project will reopen during daytime house.

KYTC said occasional nighttime-only lane closures will through mid-November.

Update July 28, 2:46 p.m.: Starting at 9 p.m. on Friday and lasting until Monday at 5 a.m. drivers going southbound over the Brent Spence Bridge will only have access to the left lane.

The other three lanes of the bridge will be closed. This also means drivers will not have access to the Fifth Street exit in Covington. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet said travelers should take a detour using the 12th Street exit.

Previous Reporting: On Monday, July 24, commuters saw multiple changes in traffic flow on the Brent Spence Bridge and in Erlanger.

The transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2 of the ongoing Brent Spence Bridge maintenance project started on Friday.

During Phase 2 the two center lanes will be closed, meaning drivers will be unable to change lanes. Drivers going northbound and southbound on the bridge will use the outside lanes until the next transition.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet also announced that access to part of Ky. 236 will reopen. Drivers in Kentucky will be able to access exit 184A from I-275, but not southbound I-71/75.
