Seabrook Bridge, Bascule road bridge in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Description
Seabrook Bridge is a four-lane bascule road bridge crossing the Industrial Canal in New Orleans with a mechanical lifting system for maritime traffic. The structure connects Leon C. Simon Drive with Hayne Boulevard and handles regular vehicle traffic across the waterway.
History
The bridge was officially designated as Senator Ted Hickey Bridge to honor a Louisiana politician's contributions to the state. This naming reflects the structure's importance in the city's infrastructure development.
Culture
The bridge forms part of New Orleans' transportation network, connecting Leon C. Simon Drive with Hayne Boulevard for residents and visitors.
Practical
Vehicles should account for occasional bridge openings when maritime traffic requires passage through the waterway. Road users can expect brief delays during these lifting operations.
Did you know?
The structure uses a twin bascule design that keeps the roadway nearly level when closed, then raises to accommodate passing vessels. This engineering approach maintains smooth traffic flow while serving maritime needs.
