Ah ha!  Clarification, and rather quickly!  Now I just have to go after the joker, er, officer, that threatened me with arrest! He doesn't need to be that way.

All,

 

Please pass this on to all personnel. 

 

It is not illegal for bicyclist to use the Huey P. Long Bridge.  The bridge is not a “freeway”, “expressway” or closed access roadway.  The bridge has a proper shoulder on it and a bicyclist can safely ride across on the shoulder.  Bicyclist should use the ground level entrances on Jefferson Hwy. and Bridge City Ave. when entering and exiting the bridge.  They should not use the long elevated approaches going over Jefferson Hwy and Bridge City Ave to enter or exit the bridge.  The elevated approaches do not have a safe shoulder suitable for bicyclist.

 

Bicyclist should not stop on the bridge to sight see or take pictures.  They are required to keep moving across the bridge just the same as vehicular traffic.    

 

I doubt that you will see many bicyclist on the bridge, but I’m sure there will be some from time to time.

 

Thanks,

 

Lt. Franklin
