Kentucky and Indiana transportation officials have selected five major companies to compete to design a US$400 million pair of bridges over the Ohio River. The five are: HNTB, Michael Baker, Parsons Brinckerhoff, TY Lin International and URS. The Ohio River Bridges Project will provide the Louisville-Southern Indiana region with a new downtown bridge immediately upstream from the existing Kennedy Bridge, an east end bridge about 13km from downtown and a rebuild of a major interchange.
