I can handle bumper-to-bumper traffic. It's when a truck blows past me at 65 MPH that I just about lose my bladder. I can't stand that thing.

Don't blame you. It's been a long time for me but I remember crossing on it going back to my grammar school years and through my 20s. I can't imagine that pile of rusted bolts has improved with age.

My grandfather told me that just after that bridge was built Huey P. Long himself was given a ride over it in a car.

Mr. Long said that he was so scared that he had to put a paper bag over his head to block his view.

Disclaimer: My grandfather loves telling tall tales.
