So we built s bridge where hardly anybody used it because BR didn't try hard enough to get it?
Come on man this is ridiculous.
Yes. Yes it is. It's also accurate. The money for the Audobin bridge was about to be lost so they built the bridge there as opposed to losing the funds.
If EBR ( and surrounding areas) hadn't shite and stood in it, there might be a more useful bridge right here.

I have no problem with the Audubon Bridge. If Louisiana built more infrastructure in advance of critical need (when costs and political bullshite is much more manageable), then we wouldn't be facing the insurmountable problems that Baton Rouge faces today. In many other states, you will find massive, over-built highways on the edges of the cities that can accommodate growth far into the future. You can find roads that were built for expansion with rights-of-way already acquired and engineered for future growth.
Louisiana and Baton Rouge surely have massive problems with too few roads and bridges. I am not about to complain that we have too many of them anywhere in this state.
But here, tax dollars have been and are still being wasted, and planning and spending has focused on covering up past problems instead of preventing future problems.

The bridge was part of the Timed program presented to the voters in 1989. The bridge was approved in the statewide vote and funded by a four cent a gallon tax.
It was built to spur economic growth in that area, and with state dollars. There was no way we were going to lose those dollars if the bridge wasn't built.
