Title: Has anyone yet clinched the newly widened Huey P. Long Bridge yet?
Post by: roadman65 on July 03, 2013, 08:41:44 AM
I hear that finally after 3 years, workers finally opened the Huey P. Long Bridge near New Orleans, LA this past month to its new six 11 feet wide lanes plus shoulders configuration.  Has anyone yet clinched it here? 

I know that we all drove it before, and I do not have to say how narrow and awkward it was to drive it.  Plus with construction, it made things even worse with one lane being closed and a bottleneck at the approaches.  So basically the nightmare is over, and now the dream comes true.  I hope to get down there real soon as my friend in Houma wants me to visit him and he always is good as he gives me great place to stay when I visit.  Is anyone here yet been across the new span?
