Try the Atchafalaya Swamp Freeway in Louisiana. 18.2 miles over swampy, scary terrain. I HATE that bridge.

That's a mild experience compared with crossing the Mississippi a bit west and upriver of New Orleans via the Huey P. Long bridge. That old combo railroad/auto traffic bridge is probably overbuilt in some ways, but the narrow lanes and scary old vertical-bar guardrails really crank up the pucker factor.

I believe it's currently being modified to widen the lanes and add additional lanes, and it's about damned time. I just hope those engineers triple-checked their math.

I use US 190 when I have to go from I-49 to I-12. It's probably a little slower, but an eaiser drive.

I drove north out of Louisiana once on that bridge. It was freakish. I didn't know how long the bridge was when I entered it. After just a few miles it gradually dawned on me that I was still on a bridge. Scared the hell out of me for the next 15 miles.

Cordially,
