The Big Four Bridge is an abandoned railroad bridge that crosses the Ohio River connecting Louisville and Jeffersonville, Indiana. Completed in 1895 (rebuilt in 1929), it has its largest span at 547 feet (167 m), for 2,525 feet (770 m) in total. It gets its name from the defunct Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway, which was nicknamed the "Big Four Railroad". Since 1969, the access ways were removed, however the bridge is being developed as a bike and pedestrian walkway.
