HOT·AGAIN THE BIG FOUR BRIDGE There has been no bigger comeback this year than the Big Four Bridge at Waterfront Park. The former railroad "bridge to nowhere" had been lying in wait in the middle of the mighty Ohio River since the '60s, but in February of this year it was re-opened as a pedestrian bridge. Thanks to the Waterfront Development Corp., the bridge has become a symbol of the city's riverfront renaissance. Already, more than 100,000 people have walked the bridge. It seems that not a Louisville sunset has gone by without somebody recording it and posting it online for all to see. The Big Four Bridge has become Louisville's favorite shared postcard. 6.13 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 53
