Abstract	The Ohio River Bridges Project is developing a comprehensive, detailed environmental assessment of various transportation options to connect Louisville and Southern Indiana. The project examines alternatives such as the construction of one or more new bridges, the redesign of connecting interstate highways on both sides of the river and "non-highway" alternatives, such as mass transit, bike paths and telecommuting. The project focus is a stretch of the Ohio River, roughly from Clarksville, Ind. and 9th Street in downtown Louisville, Ky., to just east of Utica, Ind. and Prospect, Ky. The project is the largest bi-state transportation project ever undertaken by Indiana and Kentucky. The Indiana Department of Transportation and Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will recommend a solution to the Federal Highway Administration, which is expected to make a final decision in 2003. If a decision is made to build new bridges, the next steps would be right-of-way acquisition, design and construction. This website presents project overview, documentation including environmental impact study, maps, and news releases.
