Twin Spans Post Katrina



Ok, as you can tell from yesterday's reworking of this blog I'm in one of those moods. Like I said I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. I'm cleaning up my office area, and when I say it needs cleaning I'm not lying. As I clean I'm finding a lot of old stuff and pictures that I meant to blog about but just never got around to. So now you're going to get the chance to see some of this stuff.

This is a picture of the twin spans that cross the lake from Slidell where I live towards New Orleans. This was a few weeks after Katrina. Both sides had been damaged but they got the north bound lanes open within weeks. The other side is now open too and traffic is flowing both ways.

Now THAT is unsettling. So... how did people get back??

The twin spans were the closest bridges to get across the river. There was still the Causeway, which is the longest bridge over water, and the old Hwy 11 bridge. It was just that the majority of traffic traveled over the twin spans.
