About
The Big Four Bridge spans the Ohio River, connecting Waterfront Park in Louisville, Kentucky with Jeffersonville, Indiana. Originally constructed in 1895 as a railroad bridge for freight and passenger traffic, it remained in service until 1969. Later, it was repurposed into a pedestrian and bicycle bridge as part of the park’s master plan. The length of the bridge itself is about 1/2 mile (2,562 feet), and each of its access ramps adds another quarter-mile, making a total journey of roughly two miles if one crosses and returns.
