Kentucky and Indiana have signed an agreement for engineering services and financial planning for a new Ohio River bridge carrying Interstate 69. The bridge will connect Henderson, Ky., with Evansville, Ind. The project is titled ORX, with the letters standing for Ohio River crossing. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet announced March 28 that the states have signed a Memorandum of Agreement to move forward with the second section of the initial phase of the project. "Completing this important interstate connection has been a top priority for my administration," Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said. "This agreement is a critical first step that will move us closer to construction. Bridging communities brings states together, and it opens the door to new economic opportunities. That's why it's so gratifying to see momentum on another Ohio River crossing in our state. Two transformational projects are moving forward with the Brent Spence companion bridge in northern Kentucky and now ORX in western Kentucky." |
