The William H. Natcher Bridge...
... a cable-stayed bridge that crosses the Ohio River just northeast of Rockport, Indiana on U.S. Highway 231 connecting Rockport with Owensboro, Kentucky. It was named in honor of William Houston Natcher a U.S. Representative serving the Second Congressional District of Kentucky from 1954 to his death in 1994. The bridge was opened to four-lane traffic on 21 Oct 2002 and is 4,505 feet in total length (1,373 meters).
