OKI staff processed collected traffic count data from the agency’s ORBCS (Ohio River Bridge Count Station) program. Staff then analyzed the effects on traffic due to the I-471 Daniel Carter Beard Bridge fire that took place on the morning of Nov. 1, 2024.
These findings were presented to ICC and the Executive Committee, which showed that over 30,000 vehicles were being rerouted to other bridges daily because of the closure of the I-471 bridge.
These findings were also reported throughout the region’s TV, radio and newspaper outlets.
