Cincinnati bridge traffic down overall despite congestion on crossings

(This story has been updated to add new information.)

It’s been two weeks since officials closed the southbound lanes of the Daniel Carter Beard Bridge because of a massive fire under its deck, and the region’s other Ohio River bridges are experiencing heavier traffic as a result. 

Southbound traffic on the Taylor-Southgate and Brent Spence bridges increased by more than 33,000 vehicles on the Wednesday after the fire compared to the same day a week before, according to an Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments analysis.

The analysis also showed that the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge had an additional 2,500 vehicles on its southbound lanes during that same period.
