River Bridges Project Summary, Indiana and Ohio
RIVER BRIDGES
Web Site Summary
The Ohio River Bridges project will add two new bridges connecting Jefferson County, KY and Clark County, IN. It is comprised of a new downtown bridge just east of the Kennedy Bridge (I-65); an east end bridge about eight miles from downtown connecting the Gene Snyder Freeway (KY 841) to the Lee Hamilton Highway (IN 265); and a rebuild of the Kennedy Interchange where I-64, I-65 and I-71 converge in downtown Louisville.
The footprint of the Ohio River Bridges Project crosses nearly 300 privately or commercially owned pieces of land. In some cases only part of a property will be acquired, in others the entire property will be taken. Not all land will be purchased before construction begins because construction will occur in phases. INDOT and KYDOT have started acquiring property for Hardship and Advanced Acquisition purposes in the Louisville, KY, Prospect, KY and Utica, IN areas. Hardship acquisitions occur for persons who can cite health, financial or safety reasons as a need for acquisition and can prove that they cannot otherwise sell their properties. Advanced acquisitions are initiated to prevent developments, which cause significant increase to the project costs. There will also be a large amount of property acquired in the Jeffersonville, IN area once design for this section has been completed in late 2009. Non-Hardship and Advanced Acquisition takings will begin in mid-2009.
