"my understanding is the I-10 bridge is the one they are talking about. Not the causeway that runs through
the center of the lake.

This is a large picture file - but if you wait for it to open you will see the I-10 bridge on the east side of the
lake by Slidell. "

Gotcha, thanks. That's what I expected.

If that is in fact the Twin Spans bridge, people worrying about it are wasting their time.

I-10 ends at the Louisa Street exit, the western one, just east of downtown NO. That entire section of I-10 is gone, and the bridge just doesn't matter in the short term, except in evaluation the wide area scope of the storm damage.

I'm worrying about it because the fate of that bridge speaks volumes about what happened in Slidell. In the absence of other info from Slidell, that is piece of info is meaningful.
