| Transportation |
| Louisville's main airport is the centrally located
Louisville International Airport. Well over 3.5 million passengers
and over 3 billion pounds of cargo pass through the airport
each year. The airport, currently in the midst of major terminal
renovations, has three operational runways. The two parallel
main runways run north/south and allow for simultaneous takeoffs
and landings. The east/west runway is shorter and generally
only used in adverse weather conditions. |
| The much smaller Bowman Field is used mainly for
light planes. Louisville flight instruction and flying clubs
primarily operate from this field. |
| Public transportation includes buses and chartered
vans run by the Transit Authority of River City (TARC). |
| Louisville is intersected by the Interstates I-64,
I-65, I-71 and I-265, and wholly includes I-264, otherwise known
as the Watterson Expressway or Shawnee Expressway. Plans for
two more bridges to connect Louisville to Indiana are nearing
completion. One bridge will be located downtown for relief of
I-65 traffic. The other will connect the Indiana and Kentucky
I-265's (via KY-841). |
| The McAlpine Locks and Dam is located on the Kentucky
side of the Ohio River, near the downtown area. The locks were
constructed to allow shipping past the Falls of the Ohio. In
2001 over 55 million tons of commodities passed through the
locks. A new lock is currently being constructed to replace
two of the auxiliary locks, with a projected completion date
of 2008. |
