Hale Boggs Memorial Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Luling, Louisiana, US

The Hale Boggs Memorial Bridge is a cable-stayed structure that crosses the Mississippi River and carries four traffic lanes plus shoulders. The crossing links the West Bank to the East Bank, serving as a major route over the waterway.

The structure opened in 1983 and was the first cable-stayed bridge of its kind built across the Mississippi River in the United States. This project represented a milestone in the nation's bridge engineering.

The bridge is named for Hale Boggs, a U.S. Representative from Louisiana and member of the Warren Commission. Each spring the United Way of St. Charles holds a 5K/10K Bridge Run from the East Bank to the West Bank Bridge Park, and each fall a jambalaya and gumbo cook-off, the Battle for the Paddle, takes place beneath the span.

The bridge carries four lanes of Interstate 310 between Destrehan on the East Bank and Luling on the West Bank, with average daily traffic of about 50,000 vehicles between 2010 and 2016. It is operated by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. The span connects with US 90 to the south and Interstate 10 to the north.

In later years, the structure's original cables were replaced with modern parallel strand cables while traffic continued without interruption. This renovation extended the bridge's service life considerably.
