Twin Span Bridge? New Orleans?

I can't tell you either way, I aint been there in a while.....but I remember a truck restriction on US-11 when I ran NOLA before Katrina..........

PITA.......I know........but I would go the way I know is clear/unrestricted and not have to backtrack.

 

Just talked to a friend of mine that lives in New Orleans and he drives a truck locally and he said the only restrictions are 80,000 lbs and 12 foot wide. He said the temporary restrictions were removed.

 

Drove across other day the little truck on my gps was way out in the water on the screen lol where the new bridge was built

 

I-10 is complete on the east bound side and work was still being done on the west bound side the last time I went through about 3 weeks ago. They had them portable scales out before but I didn't notice if they were still there. The temporary bridge was gone. It's an awesome bridge. Hwy 11 is restricted between I-10 and the north shore.

 

I thought they were gonna drop the 80k deal when they opened the new bridge.
That's BS to build a bridge thats only good for 80k
HELL IT TOOK THEM 5 YEARS TO BUILD IT
Coon is the 80k the real deal?
Thanks

 

Just going by what he told me. Might be higher than 80k.

 

The weigh scale is long gone, but both sides are not complete quite yet.
