Fire damage to the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge

The estimates are in for repairs needed after a destructive fire on the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge. As demolition continues, it is now estimated to cost $10 million to complete the work. Meanwhile, the Ohio Department of Transportation announced at the end of November that it will take until March for all the southbound lanes of I-471 to reopen.

On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss the work ahead, how traffic is being diverted, and we answer your questions.
