The bridge shown looks like the Chef Menteur bridge to me.

The old U.S. HWY 90 brideg is now gone. The truss spans were put on barges and taken away and the concrete wes put around Fort Pike for protection from tidel surages doing damage to the fort structure.
This Bridge has been replaced by a new one and will be demolished by the end of 2008.
I believe the set of four photos at the top of the page are of the Highway 90 bridge over Pearl River. Rigolets Bridge has the three steel sections followed by a long causeway before you reach land. The third section of the Pearl River bridge immediately ends on the land. Attached photo is a Google Earth Street View of the Highway 90 bridge over the Pearl River (La/Miss State Line).
