Bridge at Sunset Crescent City Connection One final image of the bridge that Wikipedia calls the Crescent City Connection - the primary bridge over the Mississippi in New Orleans. One reason the bridge needs to be so high is for the freight ships that travel up the river. When I was there I was worried a cruise ship was going to get in my photo, but it ended up performing and impressive 3-point turn (or 5 or 7) and heading out to the gulf.
