A bridge in North America

Ohio River Bridges (USA)

New crossings over the Ohio River to ease congestion

Two new bridges are being built over the Ohio River in Louisville, KY, USA. The 'Downtown Crossing' connects downtown Louisville and Jeffersonville, Ind, while the 'East End Crossing' is located 13 km upriver, and connects Prospect, Ky, with Utica, Ind. Once finished, the bridges will offer significant congestion relief, as well as accelerating economic growth in the Louisville-Southern Indiana region.

Heidelberg Materials has been a major supplier to the USD 2.3 billion Ohio River Bridges Project, which began in Q4 2013.
