The Big Four Station Park Sign in Jefferson Indiana. The park is named after the Big Four Bridge. The Big Four Bridge, which connects Jeffersonville, Indiana and Louisville, Kentucky, is a notable landmark with a rich history. Originally a railroad bridge completed in 1895, it spans the Ohio River, connecting Louisville to Jeffersonville, Indiana. The bridge was used for rail traffic until 1969 and fell into disuse for several decades.

In the 2010s, it underwent a significant transformation. The bridge was renovated and repurposed as a pedestrian and bicycle bridge, reopening to the public in 2014. It now features a scenic walkway, and it’s especially popular for its views of the river and downtown Louisville.
