Description

How do you design a new bridge that spans from the Butchertown historic district in Louisville to the Old Jeffersonville historic district in Southern Indiana and complements five existing historic Ohio River Bridges?

CSS directed the Context Sensitive Design/Urban Design effort as a sub-consultant to Michael Baker Engineering. The design solution is a new state-of-the-art bridge that respects and reflects the scale and rhythm of the historic bridges. The Louisville Waterfront Park passes under the bridge approach span and is framed by the piers.
