Abraham Lincoln Bridge, Cable-stayed toll bridge in Louisville and Jeffersonville, United States

The Abraham Lincoln Bridge is a six-lane, single-deck cable-stayed bridge over the Ohio River, carrying northbound Interstate 65 between Louisville, Kentucky, and Jeffersonville, Indiana. Its 700-foot main span and 2,100-foot total length rest on concrete piers in the water, with white steel trusses and cables fanning from pairs of light grey concrete pylons. It runs parallel to the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge.

The bridge opened on December 6, 2015, carrying three lanes in each direction while the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge was renovated. On October 10, 2016, it switched to northbound-only traffic, and tolling on both spans began on December 30, 2016. Its design followed a public-involvement process held from spring 2005 to summer 2006, and final alternatives were announced on July 19, 2006, with a projected cost of $203 million.

The bridge is named for Abraham Lincoln, who was born in Kentucky and grew up in Southern Indiana, so the crossing links his birthplace state with his boyhood state. The name was chosen for that pairing rather than for any connection to Louisville itself.

Drivers use an electronic toll system that operates without requiring stops at booths. Heavy traffic occurs during peak hours, so checking conditions before crossing is worthwhile.

The final design announced on July 19, 2006, was one of three shortlisted options: a three-span arch, a cable-stayed design with three towers, and a cable-stayed type with a single A-shaped support tower. The chosen structure has two main spans of 700 feet each and a total length of 2,100 feet.
