The Ohio River Bridges Project is governed by a detailed list of environmental and historic mitigation obligations that have been carefully researched and are being addressed at each stage of the project. The sum total of these efforts results in the design and construction of each of the six sections of the Ohio River Bridges Project, including measures to protect and preserve historic, cultural and environmental resources.
The specific measures the Project addresses were identified in the Environmental Impact Statement phase of the project and recorded in three project documents - the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), the Section 106 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and its parent document, the Record of Decision (ROD).
