I-471 Corridor Study
The Interstate 471 (I-471) corridor centers on one of northern Kentucky’s major transportation spines. Within this nine mile long corridor, major arteries including I-471, US 27 (Alexandria Pike and Monmouth Street), I-275, KY 8 and KY 9 (Licking Pike and the AA Highway), accommodate current travel volumes of close to one million vehicles every day. The major north-south demand on three of these routes, I-471, Alexandria Pike and Licking Pike combined, account for over 150,000 vehicles per day.
The I-471 Corridor Study was conducted in two phases, Phase I Corridor Planning and Phase II Interchange Modification Study. Phase I also included two substudies: US 27 Alexandria Pike Access Management Plan and US 27 Alexandria Pike Traffic Signal Optimization Plan. The study was managed by a Project Management Team which was composed of the following entities: Campbell County Fiscal Court, City of Newport, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Northern Kentucky University, Federal Highway Administration and the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments.
For nearly two years, the Project Management Team conducted the I-471 Corridor Study with the following purpose:
“The I-471 Corridor Study will result in a well-defined strategic transportation vision to protect and enhance quality of life for residents, businesses, the communities, and other stakeholders in this corridor.”
Goals of the Study:
- To improve mobility in developing and re-developing parts of the county
- To improve regional accessibility and connectivity
- To improve safety and reduce congestion
- To improve air quality in the region
- To enhance economic vitality
- To plan transportation consistent with, and capable of assisting in the realization of comprehensive plan visions in northern Campbell County
Based on the community’s input and the project goals, the Study recommended an integrated multi-modal plan which was adopted by OKI’s Board at their October 9, 2008 meeting. A copy of the report can be viewed by clicking on the links below.
