Louisville, the largest city in Kentucky, is famous for the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, Muhammad Ali, Louisville Slugger, and UPS which operates it’s Worldport Air Hub from Louisville International Airport (KSDF). It is the last of the 3 major river cities on the Ohio River. The other 2 are Cincinnati and Pittsburgh where the Ohio River begins. Like the other two, Louisville has several bridges of architectural significance and on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The Big Four Pedestrian Bridge (originally a railroad bridge) has a computer controlled lighting system which allows the public to request a 3 color light scheme of their choosing. The bridge is lit every evening. I have done a Red, Blue, Green configuration for this package.
This package replaces all the Ohio River bridges around Louisville with accurate individually handcrafted models with appropriate night lighting and dramatically improves the scenery.
The sim has the wrong road layout for 2 of the bridges.
The default in the sim has the lower deck of the double deck Sherman Minton Bridge running parallel to the bridge, not under it, and the traffic unfortunately follows that path.
The new Abraham Lincoln Suspension bridge is completely missing in the sim but the traffic flows as though there was a bridge there. The sim is using mapping from the time when the old bridge had been removed but the new bridge had just started construction. I have put the new bridge in the package but the connecting roads are missing. There were major changes to the road’s spaghetti junction which affected the adjacent Kennedy Memorial bridge. Fixing the road layout for one bridge would ruin the traffic flow for the other. In the package the Abraham Lincoln Bridge is shown accurately but the connecting roads are under construction.
Included in the package from east to west along the Ohio are:
Lewis & Clark Suspension Bridge
Big Four Pedestrian Bridge with light scheme
Abraham Lincoln Suspension bridge.
John F Kennedy Memorial Bridge
George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge
14th Street Rail Drawbridge
Ohio Falls Rail Bridge
Ohio Falls dam and river fix
Kentucky and Indiana (K & I) Rail Bridge
Sherman Minton Double Deck Bridge.
Various other water fixes.
POI for Churchill Downs, (Most famous horse race track in the world?)
Amazing price for such a delightful collection of bridges. As with all of this author's bridges, they are detailed, nicely lit at night, and great from the air and water. Very highly recommended.
