re: How many of you baws went to the public meeting last night about the new bridge?

Judy Eits said she is bothered that the bridge may be constructed too far south, to get traffic to New Orleans. Eits said lots of traffic on the current bridge near Port Allen, especially 18-wheelers, is trying to get to I-12 on the way east and those drivers want to avoid New Orleans. "I don't know that is our big problem," she said, meaning making it easier for motorists to get to eastbound I-10.

I agree with Judy on the point that some of the more southerly routes wont get traffic off the I-10 bridge.

JMHO, but I always have figured that one of the Plaquemine routes could be done fairly well and tied into I-10 at Grosse Tete. The problem for a new bridge is the East side connection. It will have to connect to something worthy enough to handle the volume coming and going.
