The Interstate 71/Insterstate 75 junction at the Brent Spence Bridge is the fifth-ranked worse congested area for truckers in the country, according to a list released by the American Transportation Research Institute. And it’s just one of three areas in the Cincinnati area. I-75 at Interstate 74 interchange and the I-75/I-71 interchange at Interstate 275 in Cincinnati are also on the list.

Brown’s proposal outlines how a $1 trillion package of infrastructure investment delivered over the next decade would improve the nation’s transportation, water, housing, broadband, and community infrastructure while creating thousands of construction and manufacturing jobs in Ohio.

The blueprint Brown will outline includes funding for a Vital Infrastructure Program, which would direct money toward projects of critical national significance, such as the Brent Spence Bridge. Brown has long fought for the repair of the Brent Spence Bridge in Cincinnati, which President Trump has promised to replace. In the 2015 transportation package, Brown successfully fought to include a provision that creates a new competitive grant program to fund major infrastructure projects, like Brent Spence Bridge.
