Interesting facts about this location
Fort Pike Bridge
The Fort Pike Bridge (also known as the Rigolets Bridge) carries U.S. Route 90 across the Rigolets on the eastern side of Lake Pontchartrain between New Orleans and Slidell in Louisiana. The bridge opened on June 9, 1930, and along with the Chef Menteur Bridge provided a free route between New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. A new span was constructed just to the north of the old span.

Norfolk Southern Lake Pontchartrain Bridge
The Norfolk Southern Lake Pontchartrain Bridge is a bridge that carries a single-track of Norfolk Southern rail line between Slidell and New Orleans, Louisiana. At 5.8 miles long, it is the longest railroad bridge in the United States and likely the longest rail bridge over water on Earth. The Huey P. Long Bridge in New Orleans has sometimes been given that title, but at about 4.4 miles, that bridge is considerably shorter than the Norfolk Southern bridge.

It begins at {{#invoke:Coordinates|coord}}{{#coordinates:30|5|45|N|89|48|52|W| | |name= }} and follows a generally southeastward course.
