State and federal officials say new Ohio River bridges cannot be built without tolling as part of the financing plan.
Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear this week signed a memorandum of understanding with Ohio’s governor to construct a new, $2.5 billion double-deck span to replace the Brent Spence Bridge linking Covington and Cincinnati.
Beshear says there’s no chance the federal government will pick up the whole cost of this project or two new bridges planned for the Louisville area.
