Quote from: Life in Paradise on August 22, 2025, 12:50:57 PMJust noted this week that INDOT placed a mileage sign on I-69 near the intersection with US 41 indicating 13 miles to Henderson, KY.  That sign wasn't there before.  It looks to be close to where the exit will be to the bridge.

Are you referring to this sign?

That's the one.  I didn't have my phone out when I went by it.

ORX Section 2 has five different bridge designs for the new I-69 Ohio River crossing:

Truss
Extradosed

Bridge Design
Open bridge type selection; tied-arch bridge and cable-stay bridge are prequalified
Single 800' or two 650' navigational channels; single 250' channel along Kentucky bank

Hmmm Now that I've looked at what an extradosed bridge is I'd vote for that.  Since wikipedia says there's only 5 of them in the US.  Though most people would likely mistakenly call them a cable-stayed bridge from looking at it since the extradosed bridge does also have cables.
