The first draft of the plan looks to connect people in Covington and Newport with places they go most often.
State officials say the current 4th Street Bridge, a 1,000-foot span built in 1936, is structurally obsolete. An alternative plan for a replacement presented by The Devou Good Foundation places more emphasis on cyclists and walkers than designs drawn up by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
The Devou Good Foundation, along with architecture firm Hub+Weber hosted an event Wednesday evening to promote what they would like to see for the 4th Street replacement bridge project.
