Spanning the Ohio River between Louisville, Kentucky, and Jeffersonville, Indiana, the former railroad bridge constructed in 1895 played a vital role in regional rail transport until its abandonment in 1968.
After decades of disuse, the bridge was revitalized in 2014, transformed into a pedestrian and bicycle path, complete with newly constructed ramps at each end. This adaptive reuse not only preserves a historic structure but also provides a scenic and practical corridor for non-motorized traffic, linking the two cities and enhancing recreational opportunities along the riverfront.
