Dear Mr. Bullock,![]()

Upon learning of the modifications that the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet intends to make to the Clark Memorial Bridge, the City of Jeffersonville would like to offer feedback regarding those plans. We understand that this is an aging bridge that was designed and built for different traffic than it is seeing today, and we appreciate the difficult task set before the Cabinet in keeping this bridge functional. We also understand the safety concerns for those that use this bridge, especially the narrow lane widths and limited pedestrian access.![]()

With that said, we’d like to offer some suggestions for the Cabinet to consider. First, we’d like the Cabinet to propose to the Louisville-Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Joint Board that tolling on the area bridges be reduced in order to make it more affordable to cross the river without having to drive on the Clark Memorial Bridge. This bridge has seen the traffic on it double in the years since tolling has been put into place on the other crossings, and this increase alone has no doubt created some of the safety concerns that we are seeing today.![]()

Second, we’d like to propose that large trucks be restricted from using the Clark Memorial Bridge. We recognize that this bridge is part of the U.S. Highway System, and that there may be regulations in place regarding the limiting of certain vehicles, and we also appreciate the fact that enforcement of this restriction may be difficult, but it’s evident when driving the bridge that semi-truck vehicles of the size in operation today were not intended for this bridge at the time it was constructed.![]()
![]()
Lastly, while we understand that in order to make the lanes wider on the bridge there will have to be a reduction in the number of lanes, we STRONGLY OPPOSE the reduction of the southbound traffic to a single lane. With the current two southbound lanes, traffic frequently backs up across the entire length of the bridge, often well into the Indiana approach. To think that the same amount of vehicles could be confined to one lane, with twice as long of a line of traffic, is a serious concern. As well, this is going to have considerable impacts to the motorists that use our southbound Court Avenue ramp.![]()
![]()
We urge to you take another look at all of the options being considered, and especially the suggestions we noted above. It’s imperative that this is done correctly, and to the benefit of all.![]()
