Bridges Coalition (a nonprofit that supports the Ohio River Bridges Project) chairman David Nickilies is stepping down. The interim chair will be outgoing Maker’s Mark president Bill Samuels Jr.

The Bridges Coalition has a television ad out about the Ohio River Bridges Project. The spot compares the ORBP to a stool that needs three legs to stand. In the case of the bridges, the ad says those legs are an east end bridge, downtown bridge and reworked Spaghetti Junction.

Without all three legs, the ad says, the stool will fall flat on “compromises.” This follows the Louisville and Southern Indiana Bridges Authority’s recent push to remind the public that the ORBP is two bridges, one project and it won’t be split or reduced, as some anti-toll groups, transportation advocates and area politicians have recommended.
