1895 Big Four Bridge, Louisville: Kentucky Supreme Court prevented demolition of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, and St. Louis Railroad Co. bridge—by not doing anything: the court refused to hear lawsuit challenging the city's right to restore it; plans in place to complete a pedestrian walkway by 2007
