The Big Four (novel) - Wikipedia It was completed inupdated intaken The Big Four: Complete & Unabridged of rail service inand converted to bicycle and pedestrian use in It took its name from the defunct Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railwaywhich was nicknamed the "Big Four Railroad". Access to the Big Four The Big Four: Complete & Unabridged is limited to pedestrian and bicycle use. A pedestrian ramp on the Kentucky side was opened on February 7, The original approaches that carried rail traffic onto the main spans were first removed inearning the Big Four Bridge the nickname "Bridge That Goes Nowhere". On February 7,the Louisville ramp was opened for pedestrian and bicycle traffic. The northernmost span is a riveted8-panel Parker through truss. The two southern spans are riveted, panel Parker through trusses. The Big Four Bridge was first conceived in Jeffersonville in by various city interests. The Louisville and Jeffersonville Bridge Company was formed in to construct the Big Four Bridge, after a charter by the state of Indiana ; Kentucky also chartered the company in The riverboat industry, a big economic factor in Jeffersonville, had requested that the bridge be built further upstream from the Falls of the Ohiobut the United States Army Corps of Engineers The Big Four: Complete & Unabridged the building site, even after the vocal protestations. Construction began on October 10, The Big Four Bridge would be the only Louisville bridge with serious accidents during its building; thirty-seven individuals died during its construction. The first twelve died while working on a pier The Big Four: Complete & Unabridged when a caisson that was supposed to hold back the river water flooded, drowning the workers. Another four men died a few months after that when a wooden beam broke while working on a different pier caisson. The Big Four Bridge had one of the biggest bridge disasters in the United States, occurring on December 15, when a construction crane was dislodged by a severe wind, causing the falsework support of a truss to be damaged and the truss—with forty-one workers on it—to fall into the Ohio River. Twenty of the workers survived, but twenty-one died. The accident almost cost more lives, as a ferry crossing the Ohio River just barely missed being hit by the truss. Hours later, a span next to the damaged span also fell into the river, but was unoccupied at the time, causing no injuries. As a result, falsework was longitudely reinforced to prevent further occurrences, and also to prevent strong winds from causing similar damage by using special bracing on the bottom frame of the truss. Also, a new rule was enforced: "never trust a bolted joint any longer than is necessary to put a riveted one in place". The Big Four Bridge was finally completed in September Due The Big Four: Complete & Unabridged the various accidents, the Louisville and Jeffersonville Bridge Company was financially strapped after building the bridge, and later in sold it to the Indianapolis -based Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railwayalso known as the Big Four Railroad. This gave the railway its first entry into the Louisville market, although the railroad would have likely used the bridge even if they had not bought it, as they desired access to Louisville. One effect of the opening of the Big Four Bridge was increased transportation of freight by rail, significantly decreasing the number of packet boats that at one time crossed the Ohio River by the dozens. The fireman kept shoveling coal and did not pay attention. It was the conductor that finally noticed the error midway across the Big Four Bridge. The wayward train had to back up all the way back to Otisco. On September 12,the first interurban crossed the Big Four Bridge. In Januarytwo interurbans collided on the Big Four The Big Four: Complete & Unabridged, killing three and injuring twenty aboard. Due to the increasing weight of the rail traffic, contracts were finalized in June to build a bigger Big Four Bridge, which opened on June 25, The new Big Four Bridge was built on the piers of the old bridge, a "novel building process", as it sped up the time necessary to build the new bridge; the old one served to reinforce the new one as it was being built. The The Big Four: Complete & Unabridged piers would still be used, but the falsework was entirely removed. The The Big Four: Complete & Unabridged that used the Big Four Bridge would instead disembark at Sellersburg, Indiana and have the passengers board buses into Louisville for the duration of the Big Four's reconstruction. In the John F. Because of the location of the Big Four The Big Four: Complete & Unabridged and the growth of the Kennedy Interchangethe interchange had to avoid the columns that were on the approach to the bridge, causing the interchange to have several two-lane ramps rather than a single stretch of highway, and helped earn the nickname Spaghetti Junction. In Oscar AriasPresident of Costa Ricacontacted Louisville mayor Jerry Abramson to inquire about buying the bridge to dismantle it and reassemble in Costa Ricaas he believed it would be cheaper to import the bridge than build a new one. At the time the city did not actually own the bridge, and the plan never went through. By both approach spans had been removed and sold for scrap. Some of the lights spelled out "LRS ". After unsuccessful litigation to stop the The Big Four: Complete & Unabridged, the Big Four Bridge was converted into a pedestrian and bicycle bridge as part of Louisville Waterfront Park and the ongoing revitalization of the Louisville riverfront.

  • Jeffersonville Honored with Community Achievement Award PRESS
    PRESS RELEASE Contact: Jennifer Simmons September 5, 2014 (317) 294-8528 (m) [email protected] 125 W. Market Street, Suite 240 Indianapolis, IN 46204 www.citiesandtowns.org Jeffersonville Honored with Community Achievement Award INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Association of Cities and Towns (IACT) announced the City of Jeffersonville has been named a 2014 IACT Community Achievement Award winner for its Big Four Bridge in the 20,000-50,000 population category. The City will receive its award during the Annual Awards Luncheon presented by Umbaugh, Wednesday, Sept. 10, at the 2014 IACT Annual Conference & Exhibition in Fort Wayne. Jeffersonville’s Big Four Bridge connects the City of Louisville across the Ohio River. Originally built to serve the railway, the bridge was closed in the 1960’s and later deemed “The Bridge to nowhere.” This past May the revitalized bridge was opened to allow pedestrians and bicyclists access to trails and amenities that both Jefferson and Louisville have to offer. The Big Four Station, a park located at the bridge landing is also being revitalized. The new park will feature a cascading water pool designed to mimic the Falls of the Ohio, a pavilion to hold the city’s farmer’s market, a playground, and parking. It will host festivals, concerts and will be the future home of a fall festival, Steamboat Days. The Big Four Bridge and Big Four Station are already drawing a lot of economic development for downtown Jeffersonville. “The opening of the Big Four Bridge has opened up Jeffersonville to a whole new audience. The project has exceeded the vision and we are thrilled for all of the new energy and development that’s occurring as a result,” said Jeffersonville Mayor Mike Moore.
