The bridge features a main span of 820′ (249.94m), is 38′ (11.58m) wide, and carries four lanes of traffic over US Route 31 across the Ohio River.A tall, ornamental pillar marks the Louisville, Kentucky, approach to the Municipal Bridge. Now known as the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge or the Second Street Bridge, it spans the Ohio River between Louisville, Kentucky, and Jeffersonville, Indiana. The bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
