They gave it its own category. It's still the longest bridge "continuously over water" in the world.

The others that are longer have sections where it has landings on islands or other land masses.

It's a bridge going across Lake Pontchartrain to the north shore. Feels like you are driving in the middle of the ocean on it. ETA - roughly 24 miles long. I did not know that was a bridge.
Probably still holds the world's record for greased palms per mile.

You’re gonna have to keep running baw. You’ve built so many cheap developments over there that eventually it will be filled with trash and poors. May as well stick around and fight.

Nola looks exactly the same. They’re maxed out on land to build on. You can really see the land lost around barataria

The people moving that far out will be looking to get away from the people who want to remain close to downtown NOLA.
