Pavement work requires the following lane closures from 9 p.m. Friday until approximately 4 p.m. Saturday:
- The Fourth Street entrance ramp (Covington, Kentucky) and the right lane of northbound I-71/I-75 over the Brent Spence bridge will be closed. All I-71 traffic will be diverted to northbound I-75 to the Norwood Lateral and back to I-71.

- The Fifth Street entrance ramp to NB I-71 will be closed. Traffic will be detoured north on Broadway to Seventh Street to the Gilbert Avenue entrance ramp.
Arrow boards and/or signs will be in place prior to the work zone to alert motorists of the lane and ramp closures.
