George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge (originally known as the Louisville Municipal Bridge) - Ohio River - Downtown Louisville, Kentucky by J.L. Ramsaur Photography

Completed in 1929 by American Bridge, the Louisville Municipal Bridge project consisted of constructing a 5,747 feet long cantilevered truss roadway bridge. The bridge features a main span of 820 feet, is 38 feet wide, and carries four lanes of traffic on U.S. Route 31 across the Ohio River. A tall, ornamental pillar marks the Louisville approach to the bridge. Today it is known as the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge or the Second Street Bridge where it spans the Ohio River between Louisville, Kentucky and Jeffersonville, Indiana. This landmark work of a famous engineering firm consists of two identical cantilever truss bridge units. As such, the bridge contains a special double anchor pier, and at this point for visual continuity, the end posts are vertical rather then inclined, giving the truss a continuous appearance at this point. Observant visitors will note the distinctive endposts and extremely large expansion joint in the deck. It stands out particularly as a surviving example of a pre-1930 highway truss bridge over the Ohio River and for its impressive lack of alteration.

This bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in March 8, 1984. More information about the bridge can be found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:
