I remember driving and driving and still being on that same bridge. It just went on and on and on. The Cheaspeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel from Va Beach to the Delmarva and the Overseas Hwy to Key West are impressive because there are places along the route were you can't see any land, but that Atchafalaya bridge I think was maybe wilder because you are over swampland the whole time. I barely remember seeing any river channels over what must have been a 15 mile bridge. I'm sure you Louisiana guys are confused about my impression of something so mundane, but I've always been impressed with bridges - I should have been an engineer.

I've never had a chance yet to cross the Lake Ponchitran Bridge.

You may know, but in case you don't, I have to add that the original structures for the bridges to Key West were fro carrying trains.
