Caught a snowy glimpse of that over Xmas weekend. Nice to see that it's not a stalled project - had an odd look to it with half-built pedestrian approaches.

The "Big Four", by the way, are the cities of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis. The CCC&StL Railway, part of the New York Central system, was nicknamed Big Four, and the name remained on the bridge after it was abandoned.

I accept and respect your identity as long as it's not dumb shit like "identifying as a vaccinated attack helicopter".

I've had several "mini" research projects concerning the "Big Four" at the local historical society in the last month. I was wondering if the "Big Four" bridge in Louisville was related to the same Railroad system I've been learning about here in Ohio.
Please, don't sue Alex & Andy over what I wrote above
