Great video, really enjoyed the ride. I have been across both these bridges. Really like your music choice to go along with the video. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much!

Thanks for the childhood memory! I used to call the Huey P Long bridge "The Orange Bridge" LOL and loved it when we'd cross it instead of the I-10 bridge on our way to visit the family in the Lafayette area.

My Home Town Baton Rouge

My aunt and uncle used to live in Baton Rouge. This brings back a lot of memories because I've gone over that bridge many times! I knew we were almost there we got to the big orange bridge. Even then I could tell it was narrow! It was cool to see a train beside you ever so often also,

I like all your videos and the music

My Home town Baton Rouge

My wife and I bought a car in New Orleans last month,and we took the time to go through Baton Rouge on US 190! It was cool to actually get to cross the bridge again!.

Nice video, love the house music...

I do,too..smooth jazz..STAY THIS WAY, from.. The Brand New Heavis,1991.

I went the US-190 route back to Lafayette. I-10 got all of those wrecks and bad traffic

First off, great ride and enjoyed the music track by Brand New Heavies. Just a lil trivia, there is another Huey P Long Bridge in Jefferson Parish outside of New Orleans. Also the lead singer (N Dea Davenport) in the music track is from New Orleans.

Crossed the "old" bridge thousands of times, starting as an infant. You can see it being crossed in Richard Pryor's "The Toy"

@@DNSKansas LOL, is your VEHICLE now silver, TOO ?

I remember some local old timers used to jokingly call it the Earl Long Bridge after Hueys Longs little brother

Another great video,I really enjoyed the Huey P Long bridge and looking forwarded to the swamps if you get a chance try some gator it's real good .

Wow, that stack interchange in the beginning totally got my attention. I can only assume that stack was built, in anticipation of a more developed freeway plan for the city (i.e. I-410). The Huey P. Long Bridge, what a neat bridge...looks fragile, too!

I have a swimming pool route and drive this drive every Monday.

Love the music

Nice!!!

@djmario79 -There is another, larger Huey P. Long Bridge in New Orleans, it will be crossed in an upcoming video.

I'm not gonna hop in the co-piolets seat just yet but I do look forward to the ride later sometimes as i've never been to Baton Rouge or anywhere east of Nevada.....thx ... "i'll be back"!

Im just amazed at how long the rail line part of the bridge is!

La hwy 1 is the man hwy for my fav state! That's why it's in Baton Rouge!

i love the songgg

@FreewayBrent That stack was built in the 70's so it very well could have been built with I-410 in mind. The bridge actually feels pretty solid, although I did not cross it while the train was, that could be a different story.

@0marigolds Thanks, I completely agree with you on the Heavies too, far more talented than most popular acts out there.

@2004JETTA -Thanks, I have some more on the way!

@reiltations Thank you sir!

@Derham43 Thanks, we'll see that HPL bridge in NO in an upcoming video, it's getting rehabbed so it was a mess.

Thanks, I used a Sony HDR-HC9 Camcorder for this.

@Dain67 Thank you!

@alamkarb Thank you, always nice to know one of my videos brings back some fond memories.

@jasonlava You are welcome, it's definitely an interesting alternative to I-10

@prettysigmamann You are right, my bad. She spent time in New Orleans but is from Atlanta.

@skullcrusher301 Check out the rail line part Huey P. Long Bridge in NO in the Miss River Bridges video, it dwarfs this one (22K Feet long).

@Freewayjim -Wait till you see the Huey P. Long Bridge in New Orleans, 9 Foot lanes and construction everywhere, makes the bridge in this video look wide open.

@eluko79 Thanks, got a few good ones from NO coming up.

Great quality video. Do you mind telling me the brand and model of your camera.

@UnicornsRcute Thanks, I have not used any effects in the last 4 videos, they have their purpose however.

@jocee3 Thanks for watching!

Jim how much would u charge me to put me sum songs on my i-pod your taste in music is solid gold!

Thank you but that's not my music to sell, I suggest you buy the songs you like on iTunes or Amazon.

It's now silver freewayjim everytime we drive on it was orange and why was it usually orange and now silver?

Just like Alabama's George Wallace, Louisana's Huey P. Long (a.k.a. "The Kingfish") has probably half of Louisiana named for him. Great video, Jim!

@onorebakasama I-10 is not that bad, but some of the older roads and bridges, yeah, it's white knuckle :)

@ScrewdUPClickV2 Thanks, It's worth the minor excursion.

The video footage is sped up 3-4x, I was within 10 MPH of the Speed Limit.

I misspelled main by mistake in the last comment! Sorry!

I gonna follow a truck at 5:25. It Tate’s really good.

This was oddly satisfying

Thanks for checking my channel out, EVERYTHING I have is east of Nevada, lol.

I just used our live in BR here use GS in LA!

Wow great stuff out there. Such structures are not very common in Europe to my knowledge.

the Old Bridge

@juvmol Wish I was a couple minutes later :( that was cool sight.

On the Huey Long Bridge? They were widening and updating it, see the last couple minutes of video 15-07 to see the finished product. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZXugsseolLWYdZM.html

@Bryant5493 Thanks, No doubt on that van, just sitting there like an idiot blocking the left lane of a main highway.

@CAMINOANDALUZ Thanks, there is a larger bridge just like it coming in a future video.

Maybe they should widen this one like the one in New Orleans

Also Freewayjim I forgot all about your channel
