I-10 Twin Span Bridge
The I-10 Twin Span Bridge, a nearly 6 mile causeway officially known as the Frank Davis "Naturally N'Awlins" Memorial Bridge, consists of two parallel trestle bridges. These parallel bridges cross the eastern end of Lake Pontchartrain in southern Louisiana from New Orleans, Louisiana to Slidell, Louisiana. The current bridge spans were constructed in the second half of the 2000s after the original bridges were extensively damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The first span opened to eastbound traffic on July 9, 2009.〔Duvernay, Adam. ( New Twin Spans eastbound to open July 9 ). nola.com, 6 July 2009. Retrieved July 8, 2009.〕 On April 7, 2010, the second span was opened to traffic and the old twin spans were permanently closed to traffic.〔Kelly, John. ("Old I-10 twin spans to close Wednesday" ). nola.com, April 6, 2010. Retrieved April 6, 2010.〕 The approaches to the westbound lanes were completed with a ribbon cutting ceremony on September 8, 2011 and the opening of all 6 lanes the next morning.〔(Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development press release )〕 The original Twin Span bridges were demolished shortly after the replacement spans opened. A short portion remains in use as a public fishing pier in Slidell. The debris from the demolition was used to line the nearby lake bottom as an underwater reef.〔Mouton, Doug. ("Revamped Twin Spans to open several months early" ). wwltv.com, August 10, 2011. Retrieved August 12, 2011.〕 On August 1, 2014 the bridge was officially named the Frank Davis "Naturally N'Awlins" Memorial Bridge to honor the former WWL-TV News personality Frank Joseph Davis (1942-2013) who often fished near the bridge.〔()(pdf document)〕
