(
Satellite, construction of the bridge is planned for 2027-31.)
To avoid the stigma of a "bridge to nowhere," they are first going to build roads to nowhere in Kentucky and then in Indiana.
I could not find a rendering of the bridge so I don't know if it will be a cable-stayed or tied-arch bridge. But given the recent track record for Ohio River bridges, it will probably be another cable-stayed bridge.

The Walsh Group
posted three photos with the comment:
New bridge beams are now being set as part of Section 3 of the I-69 Ohio River Crossing. Walsh Construction and Traylor Bros., Inc. are building the approach roadways and bridges in Evansville, Indiana that will serve as essential, all-weather construction access for the future I-69 bridge over the Ohio River. With foundation and substructure work well underway, more than 500 piles have been driven and thousands of cubic yards of concrete poured, making way for beam placement and deck pours this season.
Spanning a total of 7,250 linear feet, the three bridges in Section 3 will feature 180 prestressed, precast lightweight high-performance concrete beams, measuring up to 188 feet long and weighing 100 tons. Despite challenges like high water events and complex geotechnical conditions, the project remains on schedule. The placement of new beams represents another major sign of progress for this critical infrastructure connection. Read more about Section 3 here:

Brandon Storie: Think I saw these yesterday on 265w as they came across the east end bridge, they were some pretty big beams and being police escorted.
[Looks like the approaches are being built with pre-cast concrete girders.]
