These bayous of south Louisiana are waterways used by commercial fishermen and shrimpers. The bridges are used regularly, more so in the fish or shrimping seasons. The Verticle lifts are used mainly for the shrimp trawlers, with the high net masts. See wiki article
here .They'll moor or dock the boats inland during off season. When season starts they'll then travel out into the Gulf of Mexico. Also some larger pleasure crafts and private fishing boats utilize these waterways and bridges.
