Cincinnati, OH -- Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued a proclamation on Nov 6th, declaring a state of emergency in Hamilton County due to the dangerous conditions and damages on the Ohio approach to the I-471 Daniel Carter Beard Bridge.

On Friday, November 1, 2024, a fire under the bridge spread to the overpass, severely damaging the southbound supporting girders, bridge deck, and support structures.

The state of emergency allows the Ohio Department of Transportation to utilize federal funding from the Federal Emergency Relief Program for immediate repairs and to reopen the highway as soon as safely possible.
