Louisville - Getting To & From the City
Airports:
The main airport of Louisville is the Louisville International Airport which is a low fare airport. There are around 3.5 million passengers with more than 3 billion pounds of cargo that pass through this airport each year. Recently, this airport was renovated with additions of three operational runways. Another airport is the Clark Regional Airport which is situated to the north side of Louisville suburbs. This airport is popular amongst the corporate jets as its runways are long.
Public Transportation:
The road system of the city is similar to other cities in the United States. Vehicles travel through this system of one way streets. The Interstates are also most preferable mode of transportation. Some of them include the Interstates I-64, I-65 and I-71.
Those who like to travel through waterways can travel through the McAlpine Locks and Dam. In 2001, there were about 55 million tons of products which were passed through these locks. Later on, a new lock got constructed by 2009.
Some of the other public mode of transportation include the buses and the chartered vans which are run by the Transit Authority of River City. The buses serve many parts of downtown Louisville and Jefferson County along with Kentucky suburbs like Bullitt County, Oldham County and the Indiana suburbs of New Albany, Jeffersonville and Clarksville. There are also motorized trolleys which are known as Toonerville II Trolley that travel to the Louisville luxury hotel and such shopping districts.
The city of Louisville is served by two major freight railroads. One is the CSX and another is the Norfolk Southern. The Louisville and Indiana Railroad along with the Paducah and Louisville Railway serve this city too.
With recent developments to the city, there are a lot of bike lanes and shared lanes too. With this, there was a development of a one hundred mile "Metro Loop" trail that encircles the entire county. In 2006, the city was named as the "Bronze Level Bicycle friendly community" as per the League of American Bicyclists.
