Gerry made a comment that if that bridge was open .. the people could have walked across it to Mississippi to an area that was pretty much undamaged or had very little damage
I don't know that area
Is it true that the other side of that bridge goes to another state??
I suspect he meant or said walk across the Mississippi River which the bridge crosses and into Gretna and the other areas on the west bank which were less damaged....
This is the same bridge/highway that Shep ranted about on Fox at times. The bridge is at best about 1 1/2 miles from the Super Dome and the road is elevated.... The problem was that the ppl on down the line in Gretna, etc. had no means of controlling the groups once they were in their jurisdiction on foot.
Look at this map and note the bridge going south across the MS..... that is the one in question. The Super Dome sits just below the word New Orleans and is the green spot. Gretna is the red star.
