Steel beams were delivered Tuesday to Frankfort, Kentucky, where Bottoms Engineering & Services president Drew Thompson said fabrication will take place before going to the construction site.
The Brent Spence Bridge carries thousands of vehicles a day, but it has been shut down since a crash involving two trucks and a fire on Wednesday, Nov 11.
One of trucks was hauling potassium hydroxide and an unknown amount of diesel fuel.
