This is the furthest you can currently go on Chef Menteur Highway. The bridge was closed down in May 2022 after safety concerns due to the deterioration of the steel truss. While the closure is indefinite for now, there are plans to repair it but most likely not before 2028.

I traveled here on 11/9/23, it does allow “local” traffic. At the blockade it is opened enough for my bike and trailer to get thru. Great to make my journey this way!
