The Abraham Lincoln Bridge, an urban span carrying northbound traffic on I-65 from downtown Louisville to Jeffersonville, Indiana, opened December 2015; it is slightly upstream from the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge that had been completed in 1963 and was redecked for this project to handle southbound traffic. A suburban span, the Lewis and Clark Bridge (called the East End Bridge during planning), opened in December 2016 and connects the Indiana and Kentucky segments of I-265 between Prospect, Kent
