{Louisville, Kentucky}...Governor Steve Beshear and Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels are set to break ground later this month on the first part of the overall project for the Ohio River bridges connecting Louisville and southern Indiana. The Federal Highway Administration has approved financing, management and tolling plans for the bridges. The project will include construction of new bridges across the Ohio River between downtown Louisville and Jeffersonville, Indiana and between Prospect, Kentucky and Utica, Indiana. Kentucky Transportation Cabinet spokesman Chuck Wolfe says both states now plan to seek final proposals from construction companies, which are expected to be selected by year's end.
