A rendering of the proposed companion span for the Brent Spence Bridge

The Federal Highway Administration has signed off public review of supplemental environmental assessments for the $3.6 billion Brent Spence Bridge Corridor revamp.

It's an update on existing environmental impact studies originally done in 2012. The new study covers alterations to the project's design, updates to federal environmental regulations and other changes.

The report is available online.
