Fort Pike Bridge, Road bridge between Orleans Parish and St. Tammany Parish, United States

The Fort Pike Bridge, also called the Rigolets Bridge, carries U.S. Route 90 over the Rigolets strait between New Orleans and Slidell on the eastern side of Lake Pontchartrain. The current high-rise span, just over one mile (1.6 km) long, has two 12-foot lanes with 8-foot shoulders and rises 72 feet (22 m) to let marine traffic pass.

The first Fort Pike Bridge opened on June 9, 1930, alongside the Chef Menteur Bridge, giving a free road route between New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. A replacement high-rise span was begun in October 2004 by Massman Construction Co. of Kansas City, delayed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and opened on January 15, 2008. The old span was then demolished.

The bridge takes its name from Fort Pike, a 19th-century coastal fortification nearby. The structure is also called the Rigolets Bridge after the strait it crosses, a name used in local signage and maps.

The bridge has two lanes and shoulder areas that provide space for vehicles to pull over if needed. Weather conditions can change quickly when crossing water, so drivers should adjust their speed accordingly.

The old span stood just south of the current crossing; the replacement was built alongside it to the north so traffic could keep using the original until the new bridge opened on January 15, 2008. The earlier bridge dated from June 9, 1930, and was demolished once the high-rise span was in service.
