Tommy Bailey: Big Four Bridge, Jeffersonville, and Louisville Waterfront Park

While in Louisville this past week-end we decided to walk the Big Four Bridge. It has become a very big attraction for both Louisville and Jeffersonville, IN.

Louisville has a very beautiful waterfront park and Jeffersonville is about to finish something similar on their side.

Louisville, KY - Jeffersonville, IN Big Four Bridge



2014-07-01 - Over Ohio River, Louisville, KY-Jefferville, IN - Photo by Tommy Bailey. The center lane is marked for bicycles, but often when none are near, families spread across the entire width of the one time rail span. The view here is toward Jeffersonville. My wife, Jennie, and I were in Indiana on other business, and on the way home we decided to take a look. We parked on the Indiana side, and it turned out to be a great choice. Parking is better there, and they have excellent security for the bridge . . . the same as Louisville has. We were surprised at how busy the bridge is. - Tommy Bailey

The observation deck is at the Louisville Waterfront Park. We're still looking for the name of the island, as well as the building on the right that just ever so remotely evocative of the Sydney Opera House, from this angle.
