Town of Clarksville, IN • Clarksville, IN
Riverside Drive in Clarksville, IN, runs along the Ohio River near Ashland Park, offering panoramic views of the Louisville, KY, skyline, scenic riverfront trails, and historic architecture. Without a traditional downtown, Clarksville identified this riverfront as its urban core and prioritized Riverside Drive’s transformation. As the final link of the Ohio River Greenway, the $4.9 million, federally aided project reimagined 0.25 miles of a deteriorated, industrial corridor into a vibrant, multimodal gateway. Improvements included new pavement, sidewalks, storm sewers, on-street parking, landscaping, street lighting, and a 10-foot multi-use path that extends the Ohio River Greenway. The project closed a key gap in pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, enabling safe, uninterrupted access between Ashland Park, downtown Clarksville, and surrounding neighborhoods.
