June 2011 - The cost of the Ohio River Bridges Project could be reduced by at least $1.2 billion with changes such as those recommended earlier this year by Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels and Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, an in-depth analysis by the Bi-State Management Team has concluded.
"We are committed on both sides of the river to build these bridges as quickly as we can, at the lowest cost possible," Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear said.
