So the eastbound bridge will be two way?

If someone has a spare helicopter or ferry business to use the next two yrs they could make a few bitcoins.

Correct. I only go through in the early afternoon most of the time. With only 2 lanes, does enough traffic really go through there to cause a huge back up?

Wait until someone from Baton Rouge tries to cross that bridge with oncoming traffic, loses control on a warm, sunny, windless day, hits someone head-on, flips over, and sets the bridge on fire.

Then, everyone's going to have to go to either Vicksburg or New Roads to get across the river.

EDIT: Also, that reporter's really cute.

I remember when there was only 1 bridge there. Traffic would suck with the merging into one lane each way.

Totally wood, but something seems odd about her mouth. Maybe she's done duck mouth for so many years that's she's forgot how to look like a normal human being.

What do you know about doloroso? The old bridge was built in 1925 so I'm not surprised that it needs repairs.

1940 according to the article but it's old.

Looks like I'm heading through Monterrey for the next couple years.

I wish they would build a bridge to connect Monterey and Larto.

Where are you going to have to go through Monterey, except going to Monterey.
