Interstate 10 East at
the beginning of the
Atchafalaya Swamp Freeway. For about
15 miles, this viaduct carries Interstate 10
traffic over swamplands. The speed limit
is 60 during this stretch, but nobody goes
that speed. |
 |
After crossing the
Atchafalaya swamp, the
highway goes over the Henderson Swamp,
as this sign tells motorists. |

Okay, so this is a blank sign gantry. But
the exit ramp is for LA 3000. This marks
the eastern end of the viaduct, and one
may now go 70 mph legally, even though
other motorists have probably been going
about 90 mph. |

Interstate 10 East near

viaduct in the world. It is made up of the
first 23 miles of Interstate 55, and about 10
miles of Interstate 10. |
