Congress shows bipartisan support to replace symbol of infrastructure disrepair in Kentucky 

Here & Now‘s Deepa Fernandes speaks with Kentucky historian and author Sherman Cahal, who writes for Bridge and Tunnels, about the long and problematic history of the Brent Spence Bridge. Built in 1963, the bridge spans the Ohio River.
