The Connection

The Indiana Department of Transportation and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet are committed to improving the I-69 corridor by constructing the I-69 Ohio River Crossing (I-69 ORX).

I-69 ORX is a key, final connection of I-69 between Evansville, Indiana and Henderson, Kentucky.

It’s divided into three sections for construction.

Section 1: Kentucky

Work is underway on the Kentucky approach with improvements extending from KY 425 to US 60.

Section 2: I-69 Bridge

Construction on the new river crossing, a bi-state project, is expected to begin in 2027.

Section 3: Indiana

Work is underway on the Indiana approach to provide all-weather construction access to the Ohio River.
