Danziger Bridge, Vertical-lift road bridge in New Orleans, United States
The Danziger Bridge extends 996 meters across the Industrial Canal, carrying seven lanes of U.S. Route 90 through the eastern section of New Orleans.
The current structure replaced a 1932 drawbridge and opened in February 1988, marking a substantial upgrade to the local transportation infrastructure.
The bridge bears the name of Alfred Danziger, a notable attorney who served as executive counsel for Mayor Robert Maestri from 1936 to 1946.
Marine vessels regularly pass beneath the bridge's lifted deck, while thousands of vehicles cross daily between Chef Menteur Highway and the surrounding neighborhoods.
When completed in 1988, this structure held the distinction of being the widest vertical lift bridge constructed worldwide.
