Jeffersonville city officials are close to selecting a design for the approach to an old railroad bridge across the Ohio River that will allow pedestrians and bicyclists to use the span.
City planner Jim Urban says he expects the city will choose a design by mid-November. Eight engineering firms have submitted proposals.
Urban says it will likely be more than a year before construction begins. He estimates the project will cost about $5 million.
The approach will allow pedestrian access to the Big Four Bridge, which connects Jeffersonville to Louisville, Ky.
Jeffersonville officials hope the bridge project will spur downtown redevelopment. Plans call for a convention center, hotel, and new housing.
