It doesn't but I guess technically the bridge is now a crime scene? So I guess they want to check for skid marks, whatever?

I guess. I don't see how this is some big crime scene worthy of disrupting traffic, though. Seems pretty open and shut.


Oh, now I see.









Cops and other city workers need it closed so they can get a good look at the action.

From the Advocate

quote:

An official with the state agency in charge of the bridge said one of its employees was parked in a truck at the bottom of the 60-year-old drawbridge on the Lower 9th Ward side to stop cars from driving onto the span while it was open to allow marine traffic through.


I drive that bridge at least twice a day and I have NEVER seen someone at the foot of the bridge blocking traffic unless the bridge is closed or having a mechanical issue which also means it's closed.

I'm very curious if the "heavy bar" was not lowering into place, and that's why the truck was at the bottom of the bridge. to stop people from getting on it and potentially getting too close to the edge.
