The Fort Pike Bridge (also known as the Rigolets Bridge) carries U.S. Route 90 across the Rigolets on the eastern side of Lake Pontchartrain between New Orleans and Slidell, Louisiana. The bridge opened on June 9, 1930 and along with the Chef Menteur Bridge provided a free route between New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. A new span is being constructed just to the north of the current span.
