Downtown Cincinnati’s New Road Upgrades

source: Strand Associates - Central Parkway reimagined

Cincinnati has two possible road upgrades in the works, and if approved they could redefine the city’s road network.

Central Parkway reimagined - The City of Cincinnati’s Department of Transportation and Engineering (DOTE) unveiled designs this week for an updated Central Parkway. The idea is to make the Parkway more pedestrian-friendly while enabling easier access to TQL Stadium and turning the corridor into a new entertainment district in the urban core.
Brent Spence Bridge alternative - a new bridge proposal could replace the aging Brent Spence and in doing so open up 30 acres of prime urban real estate in NKY and downtown Cincinnati.

Only one problem, it’s estimated to cost a whopping $100M 🤯 check out the video rendering below 👇
