June 26, 20179 yr Is there a traffic back up if your traveling #27 thru Cold Spring and heading to a Reds game or the Newport Aquarium? The DD and i are going up Thursday night. usually we park just down from there stadium. Might park at hooters and ride the boat over.
June 26, 20179 yr I'm keeping an eye on how 471 is handling things today. Gotta be at work in norwood at 6. planning an alternate route now.
June 26, 20179 yr Took 471 this morning and it really wasn't any worse than a typical summer Monday morning. I suspect it will get worse throughout the week with people trying alternate routes but if the next 2 months on 471 were like today, you wouldn't hear a single complaint from me.
June 26, 20179 yr Didn't even bother to venture into the madness this morning. Went down the hill through Latonia and Covington and across the Clay Wade Bailey. No traffic issues at all that way.
June 26, 20179 yr Morning traffic has never been the issue IMO. This afternoon will be the real test for the 71/471 route.

June 26, 20179 yr I did that myself...except I took the Suspension Bridge. No issues at all. Traffic was very light. I'll definitely be doing it each morning until the maintenance is done. Only delay I had was that blasted train caused about a 5 minute stop. :irked: :lol2:
June 26, 20179 yr Traffic was very light. I'll definitely be doing it each morning until the maintenance is done. Only delay I had was that blasted train caused about a 5 minute stop. :irked: :lol2: Got to know where the underpasses are! When I approach Ritte's Corner, for instance, I'm watching the cars in front of me. If they suddenly swerve toward the turn lane, I immediately turn early at the American Legion Post and beat them all to the underpass! I make it an early morning game to see how many cars I can legally get in front of before I hit the main drag.
June 26, 20179 yr No real issue for me this morning. I left 10 minutes earlier, 6:20, from Burlington. I jumped off at Commonwealth and headed south on Dixie Hwy, then the CWB bridge, 2nd St., then on to 7th St. until I reached Gilbert. The 4:30 rush is not something I'm looking forward to but I think it will still be lighter compared to the rest of the week.

What time do you leave for work?

How did the Brent Spencer look?
June 26, 20179 yr What time do you leave for work? Usually about 7:00am. Today, I left at 6:50am. I live in Cold Spring, so I shoot up 27 and straight down 471. Really didn't have any traffic at all until between Memorial Parkway and Grand Ave, but that's pretty standard.
June 26, 20179 yr Well, just getting back from Florence Mall for a meeting and was in 2 different traffic problems that I didn't think had anything to do with the Brent Spence Project, but could have, am not from the area(thank God). First was a 15 minute backup on 275 heading to the Florence Mall, this was at 10am. Traffic backed all the way up to Turkeyfoot and was still backed up when I was heading home at 1, only looked worse from other side. Why are the Erlanger exits closed? Then head out of meeting to go to Culver's and #42 is backed up to the Mall Road and stopped. Took 20 minutes to get to Culver's from the Mall. What is the issue with #42, is that also a part of the Project?

Due to the crappy design around those exits, there are daily backups during the afternoon rush hour.
