What is the Ohio River Bridges Project?
The planned Ohio River Bridges Project is a massive $4.1 Billion road-building project that will build two bridges and triple the size of Spaghetti Junction. How will it affect downtown? I-64 across Waterfront Park will get 50% wider and Spaghetti Junction will expand to 23 lanes wide. The result will be more noise, traffic and air pollution. Additionally, the huge expansion in roads will cause “induced traffic” that will fuel eastward sprawl development and reduced investment in downtown.
