Kentucky & Indiana Terminal Bridge, Railway bridge in Louisville, US
The Kentucky and Indiana Terminal Bridge spans the Ohio River between Louisville, Kentucky and New Albany, Indiana, featuring two automobile lanes alongside railroad tracks.
The bridge company began construction in 1881, completing the structure in 1885 with a single standard gauge track and two wagon paths for transportation.
The bridge location follows ancient crossing paths known as the Great Buffalo Trace and Wilderness Road, used by populations for more than 8000 years.
Since 1979, the bridge remains closed to automotive traffic after structural damage from an overweight vehicle, maintaining only railroad operations across the Ohio River.
The bridge's Daisy Line service converted from steam to electric power in 1893, marking the first successful steam-to-electric transition in United States railway history.
