The Longest Bridge in the US

By Linda Tancs

Spanning 24 miles over Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana, the U.S. Causeway (also known as The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway) is the longest bridge in the country as well as the longest bridge in the world over water. It was built in 1956 to connect New Orleans with the North Shore of the lake. Drive it for bragging rights and, additionally, great views over sunrise or sunset.
