I have a friend who is a retired BR cop and good guy.
I take very frequent trips to the lower half of Louisiana---day trips, just getting lost down south and seeing where I end up. good stories are associated with these trips.
A couple of years ago I made down to Grand Isle---first trip down there in 30 years.
I liked the changes I saw associated with the ease of getting thru what used to be the longest and slowest trip in the western hemisphere. There are by pass roads around the small towns S of Lockport---those endless miles of nothing but cops wanting to write tickets--an down to Grand Isle.
I noticed the construction of a MAJOR freeway complex associated with the large Natural Gas recovery plant down there.
It has a spur that went off east towards the Mississippi and then dead ended out in the bay. Thought it might be the beginning of a FWY or road to intersect with the road out of Nawlins along the Mississippi.
Then I remembered the road that Huey built across the river at Gramercy. It was a big ol bridge, fit for anything, but it just crossed the river to a turnaround---the bridge to nowhere.
I called Buddy about the road and he confirmed my suspecions when he said Bill--do I have to remind you that roads don't have to anywhere in louisiana.
Blessings
