Believing that the above-named structure is of sufficient magnitude to merit description, and the record of the progress and development of the details of the work of sufficient value to be of interest to the profession, the writer submits the following as a correct and tolerably full account of the construction. The Directors of the new railroad being built between Louisville and St. Louis, via Evansville and New Albany, Ind., which was nearing completion in January, 1881, had, at an early stage of the enterprise, considered it expedient, and necessary to the interests of the road, to have a new bridge built crossing the Ohio River at Louisville, giving them a shorter and an independent entrance into the city. They therefore obtained charters in Indiana and Kentucky for such a structure, the former on March 2d, 1875, and the latter on April 1st, 1880.
