Gramercy Bridge, Cantilever bridge in Gramercy, Louisiana
The Veterans Memorial Bridge extends 945 meters across the Mississippi River, featuring steel construction and connecting St. James Parish to St. John Parish.
Following a tragic ferry accident in 1976 that resulted in 78 casualties, authorities determined the necessity to construct this bridge, which opened in 1995.
The bridge name commemorates military veterans while serving as a central connection point between multiple Louisiana parishes across the Mississippi River.
The structure carries Louisiana Highway 3213 with four traffic lanes and maintains a vertical clearance of 50 meters for river vessels underneath.
The second newest Mississippi River crossing in Louisiana required an investment of 109.6 million dollars and handles approximately 9,000 vehicles daily.
