Reasons For Building
The bridge was constructed for two reasons: to relieve traffic congestion on the aging Glover Cary Bridge in downtown Owensboro (approximately 6 miles downstream from the Natcher Bridge), and as part of a larger project to make U.S. Highway 231 a four-lane road between Owensboro and Interstate 64 near Dale, Indiana. The U.S. 231 connection to I-64 in Indiana fully opened to traffic on March 15, 2011.
