re: Why Do The Audubon & Gramercy Bridges Exist?

Side note- as I've been told, the Gramercy bridge was originally intended to align with LA20 in Vacherie on the westbank, which would make more sense, since LA 20 goes all the way to Houma (LA24 extension) and also connects with LA 3127 as well. but there was a geological fault that forced the relocation to where it is, shifted a few miles east. I've heard there was a big land grab when those politically connected in the area heard of the bridge plans, expecting to make huge profits on re-sale for the bridge. But the fault upended that. Not sure how true.

This is true. My grandfather was one of ten men that purchased some property where the bridge was supposed to be built.
