Build it south of Plaquemine. Construct an interchange somewhere around Grosse Tete with an expressway that diverts New Orleans and plant traffic to I-10 via a new bridge and expanded LA30.

Could also include an additional northbound expressway at Grosse Tete that directs airport, Southern, Zachary, St Francisville, etc. traffic to the Huey P Long bridge.

If only we could couple this with a crossing near the plaquemine ferry…

But who do I think I am asking for 2 bridges when I know this state likely can’t/won’t even build 1
