 The John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge is a six-lane, single-deck cantilever bridge that carries Interstate 65 across the Ohio River, connecting Louisville, Kentucky and Jeffersonville, Indiana. The main span is 700 feet (two spans) and the bridge has a total length of 2498 feet.

Designed by the Louisville engineering firm of Hazelet & Erdal, construction began in the spring of 1961 and was completed in late 1963 at a cost of $10 million. The span had yet to be named when U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. Four days later, Kentucky Governor Bert T. Combs announced that there was wide agreement that the bridge would be named in Kennedy's honor. The bridge was dedicated and opened for northbound traffic on December 6, and southbound traffic began flowing a few weeks later.

That is a beautiful photo - I love the perspective and the colors. The BW one is also great - hard to decide, since both have their own unique qualities. The sky on this one is so pretty... I just don't know! :o)
