Review & FAQ:
The Big Four Bridge is a former railroad truss bridge that spans the Ohio River, connecting Louisville with Jeffersonville in Indiana.
Constructed in 1895, the six-span bridge spans a length of 2,525 feet (770 m) and is 547 feet (167 m) and was converted into a pedestrian and bicycle bridge in 1969, earning it the nickname of the “Bridge That Goes Nowhere.”
Access to the bridge is limited to pedestrian and bicycle use, offering people from Louisville, Jeffersonville, New Albany, and Clarksville a scenic and safe way to travel between the cities.
There are urban green spaces on either end of the bridge, featuring lawns, fountains, pavilions, and a children’s playground where people can relax and enjoy the outdoors.
