Cincinnati and Louisville are the 2 largest cities on the Ohio River between Pittsburgh and the Mississippi River. The package starts at the Combs-Hehl Bridge just east of Cincinnati through Louisville and updated to extend further west to Cairo where the Ohio joins the Mississippi. A photo showing the area covered is included.
The default bridges have been replaced with 33 individually and accur … read moreately modeled bridges with night lighting to realistically represent the real world. Many of these are iconic steel bridges with unique designs. 2 are on the National Historic Register.
The most famous bridge in Cincinnati is the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge opened in 1866 as the longest suspension bridge in the world at that time. Roebling’s most famous bridge is the Brooklyn bridge which then became the longest at that time.
The Dams, Locks and river traffic barges completely missing or submerged in the default are revealed.
Louisville, the largest city in Kentucky, is famous for the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs (POI added), Muhammad Ali, Louisville Slugger, and UPS which operates it’s Worldport Air Hub from Louisville International Airport (KSDF).
Louisville has several bridges of architectural significance. 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.
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.

• Combs-Hehl Bridges (2)
