Pictures: Aug. 9, 2001

These pictures were taken on August 9, 2001. On the Indiana side, one can drive right up to the bridge. It is at the intersection of IN 66 and US 231 north of Rockport; however, on the Kentucky side it is harder to reach. At the intersection of US 60 and the future US 231 northeast of Owensboro, one can turn onto the partially gravel Rockport Ferry Road. The bridge passes over this road. I saw several cars travel on the new approach road; however, it is still under construction, and I am sure most of these were employees. The foreman's office is located in a trailer off of Rockport Ferry Road.
