Description

The first night in New Orleans I scouted for photo opportunities. The Crescent City Connection Bridges architectural lines are some of the best I have seen. They are emblematic of old construction techniques and are worthy art subjects. The first night there wasn't a cloud in the sky, only the sun which both shadowed one bridge and lit the second, which added a lot of drama to the landscape and architecture. The Crescent City bridge connects old Algiers Point across the Mississippi River to downtown New Orleans.

The Crescent City Connection (CCC), formerly the Greater New Orleans Bridge (GNO), is a pair of cantilever bridges that carry U.S. Highway 90 Business (US 90 Bus.) over the Mississippi River in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. They are tied as the fifth-longest cantilever bridges in the world. Each span carries four general-use automobile lanes; additionally the westbound span has two reversible HOV lanes across the river.

It is the farthest downstream bridge on the Mississippi River. It is also the widest and most heavily traveled bridge on the lower Mississippi.
