2010: (Satellite)
Because LDOT standardized the design for their lift bridge, the old lift bridge probably looked like the Crescent Avenue Bridge.

I had trouble finding this bridge because it doesn't exist and because it is rather far away from Grand Isle. But the above street views confirm that I found the correct bridge.

| Living in Louisiana posted grand isle, la ..., LA, looking southeast towards Grand Isle and the Gulf of Mexico [I should have read the comments before looking for the bridge. The is one of several comments that provided the correct information.] Billy Chiasson: That's not Grand Isle. That's Leeville looking north towards golden meadow, not southeast towards Grand Isle or the gulf. And that bridge was demolished around 2009 and no longer exists. [What is the economic benefit of foreign bots spamming Facebook?] |
Given that the lift span is built rather high above the water, I wonder what percentage of the boats could pass underneath without requiring the 181' (55m) span to be lifted.
According to a comment on ArchivedBridgeHunter, the new bridge was part of a project to elevate LA-1 above the swampland between Golden Meadow and Port Fourchon..
Are they building these platforms for use somewhere else or is drilling that dense in this area?
