More than one ?[edit]

This Article http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2008/01/new_highrise_rigolets_bridge_o.html is about the opening of a new Rigolets Pass brodge, but appears to be a different one. Can anyone clarify the confusion ? GrahamHardy (talk) 20:54, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Nola.com article is about the replacement for the Fort Pike Bridge which carries US 90 across the Rigolets. The Rigolets Pass Bridge article is about the rail bridge about 6 or 7 miles to the east where the Rigolets meets Lake Borgne. VerruckteDan (talk) 22:37, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Structure type[edit]

I see, from what I think I found on Google Maps, that this bridge has a movable section. What kind of structure is this bridge? What sort of movable section does it use? And did I find the right bridge? - Denimadept (talk) 21:44, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The bridge you tagged with coordinates was not the correct bridge. You tagged the Norfolk Southern Pontchartrain Bridge. The Rigolets Pass Bridge is further to the east and I have corrected the coordinates to the proper location. The Rigolets Pass Bridge is a truss bridge with a rotating section to allow for marine traffic. The Ponchartrain Bridge is a trestle bridge with a draw bridge span for marine traffic.

I'd seen it, but not thought it was long enough, as I just commented on your Talk page. So this bridge is a truss/swing type. Perhaps we should create an article for the other one, too. - Denimadept (talk) 04:55, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
