The Huey P. Long bridge is closed in both directions after it was hit by a vessel on Wednesday afternoon.

All lanes of the bridge closed shortly before 1:30 p.m., according to a tweet from the Causeway Police Department.

Coast Guard advised officials that the bridge was struck by a vessel, according to a tweet from Jefferson Parish Councilman Chris Roberts.


ETA: update

quote:

A Jefferson Parish spokeswoman clarified that a boat did not strike the bridge, but an antenna hit the underside of the bridge.

It appears to be cosmetic damage. DOTD is checking the bridge for any structural problems. It remains closed.

Hopefully they just have it closed for inspections and there isn’t any real damage.
That bridge went through a major overhaul 5 or so years ago

Sunshine Bridge is still being repaired. After how many months? How long is this one going to take?

Doesn't the Huey Long carry train tracks as well?

I fished a bass tournament every Wednesday during the summer at Segnette. It was funny as hell the people stacked behind me not wanting to pass me pulling my Bass Cat in those narrow arse lanes.
