Major milestones in Interstate 69 Ohio River bridge project expected by fall
Two documents necessary to get an Interstate 69 Ohio River bridge built are expected to be on file by this fall.
A completed Final Environmental Impact Statement and a Record of Decision with the Federal Highway Administration are key steps to getting the long-coveted project underway.
Bridge construction will happen as funding becomes available in future years, the I-69 ORX project team said during a virtual meeting Thursday. The team currently estimates construction in the 2027-31 timeframe.
It is hoped the pace can be sped up.
“Both states are actively pursuing every opportunity available, whether that’s federal grants, bonds or other innovative financing options to accelerate this section and complete the entire project sooner,” said Dan Prevost, the I-69 ORX project’s environmental lead.

In a little building in downtown Mitchell, homemade Italian entrees were zipping out of the Marketplace and Company kitchen Friday night. Waitress Angela Carrera was bustling from one table to another, but you wouldnât have known she had been running around the small restaurant all day.
With the dimmed room lighting only lit by some well-placed Christmas lights and candles by a local maker and some light instrumental Christmas music in the background, the atmosphere on the night of Dec. 18 was calm and relaxing as couples and friends hung out and chatted until closing time. Thatâs exactly what owner Mindy Petersen is going for.
