Carroll Lee Cropper Bridge, Steel truss bridge over Ohio River between Boone County, Kentucky and Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
The Carroll Lee Cropper Bridge extends 1,759 feet across the Ohio River with a continuous steel arch design and four traffic lanes for Interstate 275.
The construction of this bridge from 1968 to 1977 marked the end of ferry operations and established a direct connection between Indiana and Kentucky.
The bridge bears the name of Judge Carroll Lee Cropper who served Boone County for twenty years and influenced local infrastructure development.
This crossing serves as the only highway bridge for 20 miles west of Cincinnati, connecting communities and facilitating regional transportation needs.
The bridge foundation construction required specific engineering solutions due to the Ohio River's strong currents and substantial width at this location.
