Road Closures & Traffic Information
BLINK is coming to Covington, and the City is preparing to welcome visitors from across the region to experience the festival, explore our neighborhoods, and enjoy everything Covington has to offer.
To create a pedestrian-friendly Entertainment Destination Center (EDC) and accommodate BLINK visitors, several Covington streets will be closed to vehicle traffic during the festival. The area encompassed by these road closures will help create a walkable, festival-focused environment where visitors can safely move between BLINK installations and other destinations throughout downtown Covington.
The following roads will be closed:
- E. Third Street from Scott Street to Greenup Street
- Park Place from Scott Street to Greenup Street
- Court Street
- E. Fourth Street from Madison Avenue to Greenup Street
- Scott Street from E. Third Street to E. Fifth Street
- Madison Avenue from E. Fourth Street to E. Eighth Street
- Electric Alley from E. Fourth Street to E. Fifth Street
- Tobacco Alley from Madison Avenue to Scott Street
- W. Pike Street from Washington Street to Madison Avenue
- W. Seventh Street from Washington Street to Madison Avenue
W. Fifth Street will remain open to vehicle traffic.
Covington Police officers will be stationed on W. Fifth Street between Madison Avenue and Scott Street to help ensure the area remains safe for pedestrians within the EDC.
The Roebling Suspension Bridge will be closed to vehicle traffic during BLINK.
Pedestrians will still be able to use the bridge to travel between Covington and Cincinnati, making it easy to experience BLINK on both sides of the river.
Visitors are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra time for travel, and take advantage of the walkable nature of BLINK in Covington.
