Out for a weird drive in Louisiana.

I just shook my head and tsked, the whole way across.

The big orange part was finished in 1940. Dumbass Wikipedia just acts like these newer openair nonsuperstructured lanes over here were part of the original bridge and doesn't say a thing about them, so I don't know what year they're from, these lanes.

In West Baton Rouge Parish north of Port Allen, Louisiana, on July 10th, 2014, the Huey P. Long Bridge on U.S. Route 190, crossing the Mississippi River.
