    Luling Bridge
    Rebecca W.

    You know what? I like writing reviews on bridges. Their important landmarks, ya know? This was my first time crossing this bridge. My family and I were en route to NOLA and they closed the I-10 eastbound because of 2 fatal accidents, so we were re-routed. I told my husband to take the road less traveled. Even though it took us a bit longer to get into NOLA, it was a bit more scenic and there was no traffic. It was definitely the country roads, but it lead us to cross this beautiful bridge. Of all the bridges I've crossed in Louisiana, this was by far my favorite. It reminded me a lot of one of the bridges I crossed in Massachusetts. I hope to cross this again. I wouldn't mind taking this route to NOLA again in the future.

    Beautiful bridge! When I'm in the area I love to admire the views sometimes take my bike and ride near the bridge.

    The Luling Bridge is a favorite of mine. It's very, very tall. It's like a really scary roller coaster ride in that when you get on it you go up, up, up, up...it seems to go on for ages. Like you're almost afraid that when you reach the top you'll stop for a second and then go careening down at the speed of light. Maybe that's a little extreme but that's how I felt the first time going up. I was a passenger not the driver, too. So that made it a little more nerve racking. I travel across this bridge quite often because I have family and friends in Houma and this is the fastest way to get there. It's also my favorite part of the drive. The view from the top isn't scary at all to me. I think it's quite beautiful. And I can tell you that I don't go careening crazily when I'm going down it, either. Now that I'm usually the driver I've trained my lead foot to calm down on the way down. ;)

    The Luling Bridge is an odd ball in Louisiana. This bridge is a cable-stayed bridge where most bridges seem to be in the cantilever style. The bridge is also unique because the steel towers are unpainted and protected by the environment by rust. This amazes me. Currently the bridge is undergoing a major project to replace all of the steel support cables. This has caused major delays and a roadway that is quite scary to drive on. There is another cable-stayed bridge now in Louisiana (John James Audubon Bridge in Point Coupee) , but the Luling Bridge was the first.

    AKA the Hale Boggs Memorial Bridge is another bridge across the Mississippi in Louisiana. (Really I'm going to get all the crossings...that I've used eventually.) You may have used it too if you ever crossed over on interstate 310. Which is kind of odd because the bridge predates that little interstate spur. I guess the interstate ate it. The bridge is really, really tall and that's either a great view or a little scary. It's pretty new (built in the 80s) and is well maintained. One of the things I like about this bridge is that the space underneath it is well used by the parish. It includes a playground and the local animal shelter. Smart. It is smooth and well-maintained.

    Long before the opening in 1983 of the Luling Bridge in St. Charles Parish the residents of Destrehan and Luling, Louisiana drove onto ferries to cross the mighty Mississippi River, most were unaware of the dangers they faced as they drove their vehicles aboard these ferries since it had became a way of life and few gave anymore thought of the ride across this major transportation corridor than they would a daily trip to the grocery store, it had became a normal way of life and although it could be a minor inconvenience it wasn't that big of a deal and was worth every minute to live or work in the communities on either side of the river. On the morning of October 20, 1976 all of this changed as did the lifes of the family's of the seven-eight passengers that perished aboard the MV George Prince ferry when it collided with the Norwegian tanker SS Frosta which was traveling upriver. The collision occurred, less than three-quarters of a mile from the site of the Luling Bridge which replaced the ferry service seven years later. The Hale Boggs Memorial Bridge (also known as the Luling-Destrehan Bridge or simply the Luling Bridge) was built to counter such tragedies from ever happening again. This cable-stayed bridge is a beautiful tribute to those that lost their lives aboard the George Prince that morning. The ride across this superstructure is nothing less than amazing to me, I'm sure it represents a lot of different things to everyone who drive this route, with its unpainted weathering steel towers and mammoth steel box girders that support the roadway using two planes of cables that form a fan pattern, it's rusting patina that protects its integrity and reduces maintenance requirements since no painting is required its a true marvel of engineering. The weathered bronze color is no accident, the intention to match the colors of the muddy waters of the Mississippi far below is a sight to behold, whether it's early morning in a mist of shrouding fog, mid-day against a clear blue sky or under the starry sky at midnight this majestic structure strikes a overwhelming feeling of reverence, admiration, and to some fear, but no matter the emotions it produces this bridge is grand, sublime, and extremely powerful, and never was there a time when I haven't been in awe of its presences.

We added the "Adrenaline Package" for $10/pp and flew with the doors off and dipped and swerved over the Mississippi, Superdome, Crescent City Connection and Mardi Gras World! We showed up 30 min early to the Downtown NOLA Heliport, which is on the parking deck of the Superdome by Garage 6. However, you can't park in that section, bc it's contract parking only and there's no where to pull a ticket when you get to the garage kiosk. We ended up parking across Poydras and playing Human Frogger dodging cars to cross the street. Be careful. Don't forget to pay for street parking. We went ahead and paid for the max time of 2 hours and it was a good thing bc we got there early AND they were running a bit behind. It's $6.35 or peace of mind that you won't get a ticket! We climbed the stairs to the top of the garage deck and walked about halfway down the deck to the only open little staircase. There is a small building where you enter to check in. They'll weigh you with everything you will take on the chopper (purses & cell phones, etc) to make sure the combined weight is ok. 3 ppl per helicopter plus the pilot. We were just over 500 lbs between the 3 of us. They have an emergency flotation device you wear around your neck and you put it on like a back pack, and it's super fashionable. If you are flying with the doors off, they will even provide you with a rubbery phone holder lanyard you wear around your neck so your phone doesn't turn into a deadly projectile if it drops out of the chopper onto either a poor unsuspecting head below OR fall into the biggest dirty toilet bowl water that is the Mississippi River! The ride was awesome, our pilot, Brandon, was (don't forget to tip your pilot once you get back into the building-we gave $10 each, if that helps!) and the staff were super friendly & professional! So happy we have such unique experiences to add to our awesome city! This was definitely a bucket list item for me!
