Status I THINK is no longer working (retired). As with the rest of these Southern Louisiana bridges, vertical lifts are the most effective bridge to use for the waterway traffic. Most boats are shrimp trawlers, which have very high masts for the nets. These boats can be seen 15-20 miles inland docked or moored along the bayous.
Visit Instructions:
1) After you've found a vertical lift bridge, go visit it, get the coordinates, a picture or two of it, and if it is in use or not still as a lift bridge.
Then log it and post your pictures! At least one of the photos must be of you and your GPS there with the bridge in the background. (No old vacation shots or photos off the internet!)
2) Include the coordinates, city/county/state/country and the name of the bridge (if it has one).
3) Include any interesting information about the structure
