I-10 High Rise Bridge

The I-10 High Rise Bridge extends 6,714 feet across the Industrial Canal in New Orleans, carrying six lanes of traffic through elevated sections.

The construction of this bridge in 1966 represented a major infrastructure development during the expansion of the Interstate Highway System in Louisiana.

New Orleans residents commonly refer to this structure as 'the High Rise', indicating its integration into the local transportation vocabulary and daily life.

The bridge serves as a primary connection point for Interstate 10 traffic, facilitating the movement of over 55,000 vehicles between different sections of New Orleans.

The structure rises significantly above the Industrial Canal, allowing large vessels to pass underneath while maintaining continuous traffic flow above.
