Sherman Minton Bridge Construction: What to Expect

The Sherman Minton Renewal is a major rehabilitation and painting project that will add up to 30 years of life to the 59-year-old Bridge. The double-decked bridge carries six lanes of traffic (I-64 and US 150) over the Ohio River connecting Louisville, KY and New Albany, IN.

Construction on the Sherman Minton Bridge is a multi-phase process, taking place over three construction seasons. 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 ensures at least one lane of traffic in each direction will remain open for nearly 95% of the time.

Preferred Alternative Identified For Construction

The Sherman Minton Renewal Project Team has completed the environmental study required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and has recommended a preferred alternative for maintenance of traffic during construction.

The preferred alternative is a combination of the initial maintenance of traffic options presented to the public, with full closure of the bridge limited to only 54 total days of the estimated 843 total days of work.
