This bridge on Interstate Highway 10 spans eastern Lake Pontchartrain and connects New Orleans (southwest of this point) to St. Tammany Parish (to the northeast) and beyond to Mississippi. Large sections were blown out by Hurricane Katrina's storm surge but it has since been repaired.

    A third bridge is in the process of being built to help relieve traffic on the two bridges

    Actually, it's the new Twin Span bridge. The current bridges will be destroyed.

    I think the "third bridge" you are referring to is the third bridge in development for the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. Plans for this bridge have been in development for over 10 years now, and are on hold until the new Twin Span is complete.
