The Louisville and Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges ProjectAlmost 50 years in the Making
Kentucky Issues:
• Mobility: Complete outer beltway on east side of Louisville
• Safety: “Spaghetti Junction” daily congestion at the intersection of Interstates 64, 65, and 71 in the heart of downtown Louisville
• Aging Infrastructure built in 1940s and 50s
• Extreme Public Opposition to East End Ohio River Crossing
• Other Public Sentiment that an East End Bridge would solve the downtown traffic problem
Indiana Issues:
• Mobility: Complete outer beltway on east side of Louisville metro area
• Accessibility: Huge potential economic development sites on Indiana side of East End crossing
• Safety: Traffic congestion on the I-65 Kennedy Bridge and the 80-year old Second Street Bridge into Louisville
• Large volume of commuter traffic from southern Indiana to work in Louisville

Recommended Interchange
Two Bridges, One Project | The Downtown Bridge

The Louisville and Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project; Late 2009 Status:
• Planning and Environmental documentation had virtually stopped due to cost of downtown and east end bridges being linked as one project.
• The cost of this “Two Bridges, One Project” approach was $4.1 billion.
• MPO fiscal constraint issues prevented the inclusion of the project in the Long Range Plan for the area.
• KYTC and INDOT both knew that tolls would have to be part of any funding scenario for the project.
• The old I-65 Kennedy Bridge and the outdated “Spaghetti Junction” had to be addressed.
• Freight traffic in the Nashville to Indianapolis Corridor was increasing.
![Page 7: The Louisville – Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project2019conference.ashe.pro/Presentations/SessionC/6C... · The Louisville and Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project;](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060207/5f03d0287e708231d40ae5b4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What changed for the project??• Catalyst #1 in 2009: The two
Governors, Beshear (D) and Daniels (R), said “Reduce costs and get it done!”
• Catalyst # 2 in 2011: DISASTER—The I-64 Sherman Minton Bridge at Louisville’s western edge had to be closed for 4 months and all traffic rerouted to I-65
![Page 8: The Louisville – Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project2019conference.ashe.pro/Presentations/SessionC/6C... · The Louisville and Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project;](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060207/5f03d0287e708231d40ae5b4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The I-64 Bridge closure in 2011 led the public to demand that the Bridges project move forward, regardless of need for tolling!!
FHWA Front Office Prioritized the LSIORB:• Development of Initial Financial Plan
(IFP) including tolls
• Development of the Project Management Plan (PMP)
• Formalizing the Record of Decision (ROD)
• Mitigation follow-thru for multimodal commitments to transit
• EJ Mitigation follow-thru
• DBE and EEO commitments and minority training program
State-to-state Complexities were enormous:• Total project cost was reduced from
$4.1 to $2.6 billion.• Downtown and East End projects cost
roughly the same• States would split tolls 50/50• KY would lead Downtown Project and
IN would lead the East End work.• KY would do Design/Build procurement
for Downtown Bridge• IN would do P3 procurement for EE• Joint completion scheduled with tolls
to commence by January 1, 2017• O/M by KYTC and INDOT downtown• O/M by the P3 contractor and KYTC on
the East End
![Page 9: The Louisville – Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project2019conference.ashe.pro/Presentations/SessionC/6C... · The Louisville and Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project;](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060207/5f03d0287e708231d40ae5b4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cost Reductions and Supplemental FEIS
Costs were reduced by:
• Shifting Kennedy Interchange back into its existing footprint and reducing number of lanes
• Shortening tie-ins to existing I-64, I-65, and I-71
• Eliminating bike/pedaccommodation from the new bridge
• Reducing East End from 6 lanes to 4 lanes
Supplemental FEIS:
• Necessary to revise design and include tolling
• SFEIS started in 2012 and completed in 18 months in June, 2013
• SFEIS activities received highest priority from KYTC, INDOT, and USDOT/FHWA
![Page 10: The Louisville – Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project2019conference.ashe.pro/Presentations/SessionC/6C... · The Louisville and Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project;](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060207/5f03d0287e708231d40ae5b4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
State Governance Issues:
Bi-State Cooperation
• Legal framework thru Bi-State Development Agreement
• Technical interaction thru Bi-State Management Team
• Financial framework established thru KPTIA and IFA interaction
• Creation of a Joint Board to authorize bi-state actions for the project
• Creation of a Tolling Body to draft and implement tolling requirements
• Governors would serve as ultimate dispute mediators
Joint Board and Tolling Body Membership• 4 members of the Joint Board
• KYTC Secretary• INDOT Commissioner• Indiana Finance Authority (IFA)
Chair• KPTIA Chair
• 6 members of the Tolling Body• All 4 Joint Board Members plus• An additional IFA Member• An additional KPTIA Member
![Page 11: The Louisville – Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project2019conference.ashe.pro/Presentations/SessionC/6C... · The Louisville and Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project;](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060207/5f03d0287e708231d40ae5b4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How to pay for “2 Bridges, 1 Project”?
• Kentucky’s Downtown Bridge and Approaches Used More Traditional Design/Build:
• Regular state and federal-aid funds from KYTC• GARVEE Bonds sold by KYTC• TIFIA Loan obtained by KPTIA ($452 million)• Non-Recourse Toll Revenue Bonds sold by KPTIA• KY’s 50% of toll revenues support TIFIA and Toll Bonds payback
• Indiana’s East End Bridge and Approaches Used P3:• Private Activity Bonds (PABs) sold by IFA• TIFIA Loan obtained by IFA ($162 million)• P3 Availability Payment structured by IFA and paid by INDOT• IN’s 50% of toll revenues support INDOT’s AP commitment
![Page 12: The Louisville – Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project2019conference.ashe.pro/Presentations/SessionC/6C... · The Louisville and Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project;](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060207/5f03d0287e708231d40ae5b4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Did the Plan Work? Yes it Did!!!
• 2010: Governors Beshear and Daniels joined together to move the LSIORB Project
• 2011: An I-64 bridge closure forced virtually all cross-river trips thru the I-65 corridor and changed the game
• 2012: Downtown and East End D/B and P3 Teams Selected• Mid-2013: Financing Plan and Supplemental FEIS completed• Late 2013: Construction Begins at both river crossings • December 2015: New Downtown Bridge opens to traffic and
all lanes shifted to the new bridge• Summer 2016: Refurbished Kennedy Bridge reopens to
traffic• December 2016: East End Bridge opens to traffic and tolling
begins at both locations

Transforming Our Region• Projected economic impact of
$87 billion over the next 30 years• Anticipated 15,000 new jobs• Improving economic
competiveness• Uniting the region• Designated by Congress as one
of 13 projects of national importance
• Project was not possible without tolling

For the Louisville Bridges Project, this is what success looks like…

Separately from the LSIORB Project, KYTC and INDOT funded the adjacent, previously abandoned Big Four railroad bridge for cross-river bike/ped connectivity in the Downtown area…
