Big 4 Bridge: Jeffersonville to Louisville
In Jeffersonville, Indiana; the Big Four Bridge fell into disuse after the Big Four Railroad's parent company, the New York Central Railroad, was merged into the Penn Central in 1968. The Big Four Bridge's former traffic was then routed over the Indiana to Louisville Fourteenth Street Bridge. By 1969 both approach spans had been removed and sold for scrap. As a result, the Big Four Bridge became the first Louisville bridge to fall out of use, and gained the nickname 'Bridge That Goes Nowhere'. Now it is on its way back as a pedestrian and bike bridge.
