Big Four Bridge, Railway bridge turned pedestrian crossing in Downtown Louisville, United States
The Big Four Bridge spans 2,525 feet across the Ohio River, connecting Louisville, Kentucky to Jeffersonville, Indiana with steel truss construction.
The Louisville and Jeffersonville Bridge Company initiated construction in 1888, completing the railway bridge in 1895 for freight and passenger transportation.
The bridge serves as a boundary marker during Thunder Over Louisville events and provides a connection point between communities on both sides of the river.
The crossing includes two quarter-mile ramps and accommodates about 1.5 million pedestrians and cyclists annually between sunrise and 1 am daily.
The structure features a programmable LED system that illuminates the iron framework in different colors for special occasions and charitable causes.
