George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge
George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge, Cantilevered bridge in downtown Louisville, United States
The George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge extends across the Ohio River with four traffic lanes connecting Louisville, Kentucky to Jeffersonville, Indiana.
The bridge opened on October 31, 1929, at a construction cost of 4.7 million dollars under the direction of architects Paul Cret and Ralph Modjeski.
The bridge received its current name in 1949 to honor George Rogers Clark, who established the city of Louisville and contributed to Clark County, Indiana.
The steel structure carries US Route 31 and accommodates approximately 24,000 vehicles daily, with a maximum weight capacity of 40 tons per vehicle.
The bridge features a distinct yellow paint color from a 27.9 million dollar renovation project completed in 2018 by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
