Now we have need for more than one bridge due to high traffic volume and to be honest I live in the middle of I-10 bridge & the Causeway it is quicker to take the causeway for myself and is about 45mins. to 1hr drive pending on how fast traffic is moving doing the speed limit of corse causeway police are constantly enfoceing the speed limit I just pray that I will never have too commute that long drive to work ever again. its way too long there and back for me to enjoy on a daily bases but for those coming to cross it because enjoy theres a point where you can no longer see either side of the shoreline north or south so have fun pinch some tail suck some heads and love some crafish For those asking why it is faster for those of us commuting every day to the city so many people now commute every day now more than ever due to the hurricane (realy even before that) people here just want to live outside the city.

It can be very cumbersome and the traffic during rush hour is the worst. My first speeding ticket was on this stupid bridge..... a cop pulled me over because he said i was coming up too fast from behind him and speeding. I didn't know they had radars behind their police cars???? I asked him if he caught me on the causeway cam and he didn't answer (because I wasn't anywhere near one)....I think he was just trying to make his commission by writing the damn ticket!

What an idiot, if you don't like it, leave - we all love the area, that's why we are here. You obviously don't, so what's keeping you here, greed, stupidity? Probably both, get lost you idiot!

If one moron breaks down, 20k people are late for work. Only a stagnant sues pool like New Orleans would you have to pay $3.00 to cross this dilapidated piece of junk. If you need to make a meeting, I would leave an hour early because you will most likely be held up by someone breaking down of one of their nitwit workers closing a lane for no apparent reason. New Orleans is a joke of city and the causeway bridge fits right in! Yes, this bridge is long, and the morons forgot to build a shoulder on the dam bridge.
