Construction

Construction on the Sherman Minton Bridge is a multi-phase process, taking place over three years. To minimize impacts on cross-river commuters in Louisville and Southern Indiana during rehabilitation of the Sherman Minton Bridge, the Project Team is using a low-impact maintenance of traffic approach that limits full closure of the bridge to only 54 total days of the estimated 843 total days of work.

The approach reflects the public’s preference for maintaining access across the bridge as much as possible during construction, while providing a safe environment for the driving public and the design-build contractor’s team.

Kokosing Construction Company, Inc. will lead the construction work for this major bi-state rehabilitation project.
