Dixon said he envisions a new bridge originating at Washington Boulevard on the west side of the river, spanning over the railroad tracks on the east side and a new road ending up in the vicinity of Ohio 4.
He said it will be pricey but “doable.”
“My best guess it’s going to be $50-plus million,” he said. “We can do the engineering and in 2020 we can do a sizable amount. The state wants 50 percent (local match) so that means we’ve got to put up $25 million, that’s doable. That puts it in the realm of being something we can handle fairly easily, taken over a few years.”
