Description
The 14th Street Railroad Bridge at Sunset, crossing the Ohio River from Clarksville, Indiana to Louisville, Kentucky. The Fourteenth Street Bridge, also known as the Ohio Falls Bridge, was completed in 1870, by the Louisville Bridge Company. It was originally operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad, but is currently owned by the Louisville and Indiana Railroad. The drawbridge portion on the south side of the river, which allows barges to pass through the McAlpine Locks and Dam, was built in 1918, and operates as a vertical-lift span. The McAlpine Locks and Dam, were built to allow ships to navigate past the Falls of the Ohio, a series of rapids in the Ohio River that pose a serious obstacle to boat traffic in this section of the river.
