Somebody refresh my memory, but was this the bridge that kept the toll going for long after it was supposed to be ended and then turned into a well kept money making secret until it was later discovered?

Crescent City Connection by the Super Dome.

Thinking about it again, maybe the expansion joints on the road surface were covered with grating too, but it would have been small sections.


That tracks. I drove across it today and was trying to recall - it’s been so long, but this description sounds right.

I think the grating was in the median. Not the driving surface. They redid the whole surface some time around 2000.


Absolutely this. I’ve crossed it at least twice a day for ages and was coming here to say this. The median was grated.
