50 years of the basin bridge

By ADAM DAIGLE l Acadiana Business Editor​ ​ ​

Welcome back to another edition of Acadiana Business Today. Let's get cracking with some business news. 

Officials marked the 50th anniversary of the opening of the 18-mile-long Atchafalaya Basin Bridge during a cool and breezy gathering Tuesday at the Butte LaRose boat landing in St. Martin Parish.

The elevated expressway is actually two parallel bridges, one for eastbound travel and one for westbound travel. Part of the east-to-west Interstate 10, the bridge cuts through the Atchafalaya Basin, the largest freshwater floodplain swamp in North America, providing a vital link between Lafayette and Baton Rouge.

Read the full story here.

Have a great day and see you here tomorrow.
