Hale Boggs Memorial Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Luling, Louisiana, US
The Hale Boggs Memorial Bridge spans the Mississippi River with a main structure length of 2,745 feet and carries four traffic lanes plus shoulders.
Opening in October 1983, this structure marked its place as the first major cable-stayed bridge constructed across the Mississippi River in the United States.
The bridge received its name from United States Congressman Hale Boggs, who represented Louisiana and made substantial contributions to the state's infrastructure development.
The bridge connects Louisiana Highway 18 on the West Bank to Louisiana Highway 48 on the East Bank, serving as a vital transportation link in St. Charles Parish.
The bridge underwent significant upgrades with the installation of modern parallel strand cables, replacing the original system while maintaining continuous traffic flow.
