Krotz Springs Bridge, Cantilever bridge in Louisiana, United States.
The Krotz Springs Bridge spans across the Atchafalaya River with two continuous truss structures carrying four traffic lanes of US Highway 190.
The original bridge from 1928 served both railroad and automobile traffic, while the current structure was built in 1973 to accommodate increased transportation needs.
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 structure consists of parallel spans handling eastbound and westbound traffic, connecting the communities of Krotz Springs and East Krotz Springs.
Following the 1985 demolition of the original span, the 1973 bridge temporarily operated as a two-lane thoroughfare until completion of the eastbound span in 1988.

Baton Rouge preserves its history through several sites that showcase Louisiana's development. The State Capitol building, an art deco structure from 1932, towers over downtown at 140 meters high and offers a view of the Mississippi River and its surroundings from its observation deck. Nearby, the Former Governor's Residence from 1850 exemplifies Southern colonial architecture with its white columns, while the Magnolia Mound Plantation, established in 1791, reconstructs the life of French cotton planters. The city’s museums document different aspects of regional history. The LSU Rural Life Museum houses artifacts and documents on Louisiana's farming techniques from the 18th to the 20th century. The USS Kidd, a World War II destroyer moored on the Mississippi, exhibits collections on American naval history. Louisiana State University's campus features the LSU Tiger Stadium, built in 1924 and capable of holding over 100,000 spectators. The city also has natural areas such as the Bluebonnet Marsh Nature Center with its 43 hectares of marsh accessible via trails, as well as a zoo with 800 animals across 200 species.
