Krotz Springs Bridge

Krotz Springs Bridge is a cantilever bridge crossing the Atchafalaya River in Louisiana. The structure uses two parallel spans to carry four lanes of US Highway 190 across the water, linking the communities of Krotz Springs and East Krotz Springs.

The first bridge at this location opened in 1928 to carry both railroad and vehicle traffic. The current structure was built in 1973 to meet growing transportation demands and eventually replaced the original span.

The bridge received its official name, Frank and Sal Diesi Bridge, in 2015 to honor local port officials who made significant contributions to regional development.

The crossing runs smoothly over the water in flat terrain and is straightforward to drive. Travelers should know this is an active transportation route carrying both local and regional traffic regularly.

The bridge was officially renamed the Frank and Sal Diesi Bridge in 2015 to honor two local port officials who shaped regional development. This name appears on the structure today and marks their role in the area's story.
