Chef Menteur Pass Bridge
The bridge re-opened a few weeks ago. (Today is 8-24-06)
Side Note: The camps that lined Chef Hwy have been completely wiped out. Fort Pike, which is next to the Rigolets swing bridge, took a beating from Katrina. Also, the bridge at the Rigolets is open and the construction on the new bridge is progressing well.
