Great video, really enjoyed the ride. I have been across both these bridges. Really like your music choice to go along with the video. Thanks for sharing.
My aunt and uncle used to live in Baton Rouge. This brings back a lot of memories because I've gone over that bridge many times! I knew we were almost there we got to the big orange bridge. Even then I could tell it was narrow! It was cool to see a train beside you ever so often also,
Thanks for the childhood memory! I used to call the Huey P Long bridge "The Orange Bridge" LOL and loved it when we'd cross it instead of the I-10 bridge on our way to visit the family in the Lafayette area.
First off, great ride and enjoyed the music track by Brand New Heavies. Just a lil trivia, there is another Huey P Long Bridge in Jefferson Parish outside of New Orleans. Also the lead singer (N Dea Davenport) in the music track is from New Orleans.
My wife and I bought a car in New Orleans last month,and we took the time to go through Baton Rouge on US 190! It was cool to actually get to cross the bridge again!.
Wow, that stack interchange in the beginning totally got my attention. I can only assume that stack was built, in anticipation of a more developed freeway plan for the city (i.e. I-410). The Huey P. Long Bridge, what a neat bridge...looks fragile, too!
I'm not gonna hop in the co-piolets seat just yet but I do look forward to the ride later sometimes as i've never been to Baton Rouge or anywhere east of Nevada.....thx ... "i'll be back"!
@FreewayBrent That stack was built in the 70's so it very well could have been built with I-410 in mind. The bridge actually feels pretty solid, although I did not cross it while the train was, that could be a different story.
@Freewayjim -Wait till you see the Huey P. Long Bridge in New Orleans, 9 Foot lanes and construction everywhere, makes the bridge in this video look wide open.
On the Huey Long Bridge? They were widening and updating it, see the last couple minutes of video 15-07 to see the finished product. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3GlPeodR2E0.html
