Louisville at a Crossroads

Mayor Abramson supports tolling to build a Downtown Bridge and expand Spaghetti Junction to 23 lanes wide. The project would increase the amount of trucks and traffic downtown and it would widen I-64 by 75 feet over Waterfront Park.

We need your support for the 8664 alternative to:

• Build the East End Bridge
• "Right-size" Spaghetti Junction (view animation)
• Reconnect Louisville to the Ohio River
• Save $2 Billion and avoid tolls
