long=The Bob Cummings - Lincoln Trail Bridge crosses the Ohio River and connects the towns of Cannelton, Indiana and Hawesville, Kentucky. Indiana State Road 237 becomes Kentucky Route 69 upon entering Hawesville.
Construction began in June 1964 and the bridge opened on December 21, 1966. The steel arch bridge with its suspended deck was a toll facility until the state of Indiana lifted the tolls in the 1990s.
Bob Cummings, for whom the bridge was named on November 17, 1974, was the editor of the "Cannelton News" and a booster of Cannelton in general until his untimely death on July 25, 1971.
In 2006, the bridge was resurfaced with concrete that many drivers find to be rougher than the previous surface.
New connections
To the north, the bridge connects to a rerouted five-mile stretch of Indiana 237, which now by-passes Cannelton and dramatically cuts the time of travel to Indiana 37, which connects to Interstate 64.
In Hawesville, Kentucky 69 takes a sharp westward turn into the downtown area before reaching a traffic signal at the junction of Kentucky 3101. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is studying a direct route for Kentucky 69 that would eliminate the sharp turns and steep hill just outside of the downtown area.
