Ohio River Bridges East End Crossing P3 Design-Build

American Structurepoint was the design firm for Section 6 of the East End Crossing, which improved cross-river mobility and enhanced safety for southern Indiana and Louisville, Kentucky, as the Indiana Finance Authority and Kentucky Transportation Cabinet combined forces for a massive, multi-phase, long-term construction to build a new bridge over the Ohio River. We were a subconsultant to the lead design firm, Jacobs, which was headed by prime contractor and developer team Walsh Construction and VINCI Concessions. The Section 6 project included designing four miles of new SR 265 as a 4-lane divided highway (two lanes in each direction) from SR 62 to the new Ohio River Bridge, as well as reconstruction of the SR 265/SR 62/Port Road interchange roadways and ramps, new SR 265/Salem Road interchange ramps, seven bridges over small creeks, seven bridges over roadways, and four bridges over railroads.

The East End Crossing was a best value design-build-finance-operate-maintain public-private-partnership (P3) project.
