The bridge is so high because it goes over the levees.

Current 4th Street bridge to permanently close in January: The 1936 bridge will be closed in Jan 2026 and demolished in the spring. It said four designs were considered before they chose to use an arch bridge. |
Judging by the abutments, it looks like it is a true arch rather than a tied arch.
It took some digging, but I found the four design options in
wcpo. All four images are credited to the KYTC.
