The Atchafalaya River (Berwich Bay) at Morgan City, LA is home to two
attractive truss bridges. The newer bridge in the foreground is
the
US 90 Bridge, a 1,838-foot cantilevered Warren through truss built
in 1975. The older bridge in the back is the
Long-Allen Bridge,
a two-lane 3,745-foot K-Parker through truss bridge from 1933
when US 90 was routed along a more scenic and precarious two-lane alignment.
The train itself crosses a
combination swing and lift bridge just to the south of the two highway bridges.
