Bridges in Louisville, Kentucky

The Interstate 65 bridge over the Ohio River is named the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge. It connects downtown Louisville, Kentucky and Jeffersonville, Indiana. The second bridge in Louisville is called the Sherman Minton Bridge. It is a "double decker" bridge that carries Interstate 64 and US150 traffic between west Louisville and New Albany, Indiana.

Hopes for the future: Two new bridges

Plans have been in the works for many years to build a third bridge on the east side of Louisville to connect Kentucky's segment of Interstate 265 near Prospect with Indiana's segment near Utica. Once the bridge is constructed, it will complete the I-265 loop around Louisville and Jeffersonville, Clarksville, and New Albany, Indiana.

The current Ohio River Bridges Project includes plans for the long-awaited east end bridge (yet to be named) and a second bridge slightly upstream from the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge. The plan includes major reconstruction of what is locally known as Spaghetti Junction (the conglomeration of ramps on the south side of the Ohio River that route traffic on Interstates 65, 64, and 71, and to I-264, which makes a complete loop around Louisville).
