That would be what I was trying to call east. Across the 2nd street bridge. See I knew how to get there, but I got married in Louisville Dec 31, 1952. I lived at East St Catherine and Oak street.

Of course, there were ferry boats but the first bridge capable of carrying automobiles was the Kentucky and Indiana Terminal Bridge (popularly, the K & I Bridge). It ran between the Portland neighborhood and New Albany and was completed in Nov. 1912. It was designed primarily to carry railroad traffic but like its predecessor of 1886, it had wagonways on each side to accommodate horse-and-wagon traffic. Within a few years cars and trucks replaced horse-drawn traffic. (I remember how scary it was as a child when my dad would drive across this very narrow passageway that had been designed for the width of a wagon or carriage. As teenagers, the boys would always scare the girls in the car by driving fast...and I can still hear the sound of the steel gridwork our car rode on.) The K & I was used until Feb 1979 when a section of roadbed broke under the weight of an overloaded gravel truck. A new four lane bridge to New Albany, named in honor of former United States senator and Supreme Court justice Sherman Minton of New Albany, had been in operation since 1962. The four lane bridge between Louisville and Jeffersonville opened in Oct 1929 and was named the Municipal Bridge. (We've always called it the 2nd Street Bridge) It ran between Second and Main Street in Louisville and Illinois Avenue in Jeffersonville. It was renamed the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge in 1949 in honor of Louisville's founder Janis in Louisville
