Greater New Orleans Bridges or the Crescent City Connection, as they are now known. These twin cantilever bridges were designed by Modjeski & Masters, Inc. Construction on the first bridge began in 1954 and opened in 1958. The second bridge didn’t begin construction until 1981. Due to delays, the second span didn’t open until 1988. This photo was taken from the deck of the Gretna-Canal Street Ferry, for my personal photowalk during ImagingUSA in New Orleans.
