Threat
The proposed Louisville Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges project calls
for construction of a multi-laned suburban bridge linking Louisville and
southern Indiana. Within the unique and continuous landscapes of this
National
Register district lie sixty one contributing buildings, sites and structures
as well as archeological sites of religious or tribal significance to
Native Americans. It presently is anticipated that the bridge will sever
the unity of this exceptional cultural landscape treasure. The eastern
bridge is under study in tandem with a new downtown bridge; the combined
bridges project is the second largest Federal Highway Administration project
to be started in the U.S. over the
next 10 years. The required Draft Environmental Impact Statement was issued
on November 6, 2001. To make recorded comments for the project record,
submit such comments to the Federal Highway Administration in Frankfort,
KY, by February 25, 2002. For more information on the project, visit www.kyinbridges.com
