Our local monster bridge....very scarey on to drive on!
The Huey P. Long Bridge, completed in 1935, is the longest and highest steel railroad bridge in the United States. It is 4.35 miles long from abutment to abutment. It is a combination rail - highway structure and provides a four-lane highway, two one-way lanes on each side of a double track railroad. This thing is a real trip to drive across.....you got to have nerves of steel if you are in the inside lane with an 18 wheeler on one side and a train on the other. The traffic lanes are only 9' wide with no shoulder.
