They'll wait untill the bridge falls in the river and then play the blame game!

This has not aged well so far.....

Funny how this popped up on the recommended list 8 years later since the bridge is closed due to a fire... and all they're doing is band-aid'ing the damn thing.

Well lucky us we’re getting a new one soon since it had a explosion and fire on lower deck

People, this is nothing more than oil industry-sponsored bullshit. Bulldozing through urban areas to build highways has always been an economic disaster. Look at almost every major city across the country and you will quickly notice that following highway construction in urban areas, massive depopulation and economic downturn occurred as a result. Are people in Cincinnati begging for this boondoggle? No! It's another sneaky attempt by the oil industry to perpetuate peoples' dependence on their cars and encouraging suburban sprawl.

Typical, fossil fuel industry-sponsored bullshit. CINCINNATI THE SURROUNDING AREAS DO NOT NEED NEW HIGHWAYS!

The problem is those ohio drivers...

These projections assume that traffic volumes will keep growing year after year. In reality, we reached "peak driving" in July of 2004, when Americans drove an average of 900 miles per month. By July 2012, that number had fallen to just 820 miles per month. Just Google "Americans driving less" and you will see dozens of stories on this topic. It's due to a variety of factors -- baby boomers retiring, more people living closer to their jobs, etc. And it's not tied to the economy -- even as the economy has recovered, people aren't driving more. There is no reason for us to be spending billions of dollars on new highways. We should instead spend that money on maintaining the ones we already have.

I hope it gets built.

I ask, does destroying Newtown with this idiocy really solve much ?

Did anyone notice traffic really doesn't increase much in Anderson under this model? Hmm! Maybe we should save $1billion and cancel the project!

What a ridiculous waste of time and money! It's ridiculous that "lines on the map...may not represent actual projects." If OKI has been planning this for decades, how can they not accurately show the projects yet? And WHY wasn't the increased traffic on I-71 modeled? Funneling thousands of cars into that mess will INCREASE air pollution, congestion and travel times. Tell the WHOLE story, not this silly fairly tale.

Let's have OKI add all the multi-modal transportation to all of I-275, 75 and 71 first, then we can talk about another highway going through an urban neighborhood. Add all your billion dollar rail options to I-71, I 75 and 270, then after that we can consider the new highway you would like.

Thank you Adam for your feedback. OKI uses our nationally recognized travel demand model to calculate the current travel times for the locations that are highlighted in the video. These represent an average of travel time during the P.M. rush hour traffic. When considering your entire trip what has been your experience?

It's going to cost billions we supposedly don't have, but you don't hear COAST or the tea party trying to stop it, nor do you hear Brian Thomas every morning bringing Chris Smitherman on his show agreeing that it will cost eleventy billion dollars. Oh well, there's more sprawl to build while investing in the neighborhoods we've been leaving behind is for some reason a "boondoggle."

Peak oil is here, we need to invest in sustainable transportation now, not only gas guzzling interstates.
