The project includes the construction of two new bridges over the Ohio River between Kentucky and Indiana and the rebuilding of a major interchange.

Mineta also announced three other priority transportation schemes that have been successfully moved forward under the initiative. They are Interstate 80 in Nebraska; the North/South alignment for the community and environmental transportation acceptability process in Riverside County, California and the Chittenden County circumferential highway in Vermont. Nine other projects are still to be cleared.
