Description
Traveling under the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge also known as the Louisiana Airborne Memorial Bridge, on an air boat tour of the Henderson Swamp.
The bridge is 18.2 miles long, making it the 3rd longest bridge in the US and the second longest on the interstate system. It is also the fourteenth longest bridge in the world.
This pair of parallel bridges carries Interstate 10 over the Atchafalaya Basin. The Henderson Swamp is the most well-known portion of Atchafalaya since this bridge cuts right through the middle of it. At 260,000 acres, the Atchafalaya is the largest wetland and swamp in the United States.
The Atchafalaya River Basin is located just minutes from Lafayette and less than an hour from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
