Three arrested in fire that damaged Big Mac Bridge in Cincinnati
Three people have been arrested in connection with a fire that severely damaged the Big Mac Bridge in Cincinnati. One woman, Kaitlen Hall, faces charges for allegedly providing false information to investigators. Charges for the other two individuals are pending. The fire occurred on November 1, damaging the bridge's steel beams and prompting a $10 million repair estimate. Demolition of the bridge's concrete deck began on November 29, with work expected to continue through mid-December. Repairs to the bridge's northern lanes may start next week, with completion anticipated by the end of the year. The Ohio Department of Transportation is managing the emergency repairs and will seek federal reimbursement following a state of emergency declaration.
