If you’re on I-10 you
get to drive the ABB.
Wiki says this… “The Atchafalaya Basin Bridge, also
known as the Louisiana Airborne Memorial Bridge,[1]
is a pair of parallel bridges in the U.S. state
of Louisiana
between Baton
Rouge and Lafayette which carries Interstate 10 over the Atchafalaya
Basin. With a total length of 96,095 feet (29,290 m) or 18.2 miles, it
is the second-longest bridge in the US and fourteenth-longest in the world by total
length.”
Hard to stop and take high quality pictures on the road
here. Here are a few to give you a taste. Worth the driving effort to
experience flying low over the wetlands.
On the western approach to New Orleans you cross the western edge of Lake Pontchartrain. Not it's prettiest section.
If you cross southwest Louisiana and you're not on a bridge - you must be in a boat.
Next stop is the Big Easy. We are ready for civilization again.
