The Daniel Carter Beard Bridge was dedicated in 1981 as the river crossing for I-471. The bridge is is the easternmost of the city's downtown bridge group, with the old L&N Bridge located 1/4 mile to the west and the I-275 Combs-Hehl Bridge about five miles to the east. I-471 interchanges with I-71 a mile north of the bridge, and in the same vicinity interchanges with the 3rd St. Viaduct, the 5th St. Viaduct, and 6th St. Like the Brent Spence Bridge, the I-471 Bridge carries heavy daily commuter traffic, but unlike its I-71/75 counterpart it carries no through traffic since it serves a spur highway.

Named after a hamburger.
