The Ohio River Bridges – East End Crossing project is a large scale availability based PPP project with the Indiana Finance Authority. The fully operational project opened to the public on schedule in December 2016. The East End Crossing greatly improves connectivity, public safety and economic growth for residents, businesses and visitors in the Southern Indiana region. The centerpiece of the project is the Lewis and Clark Bridge, a twin-tower, cable-stayed bridge that stretches 760 m across the Ohio River. The project also includes a 500 m long, twin bore tunnel, 19 smaller-scale bridges and associated roadway and infrastructure work, including a 5 km extension of I-265 in Kentucky and a 6.5 km extension of I-265/SR 265 in Indiana.
