The Natchez–Vidalia Bridge, Natchez, MS tp Vidalia, LA

The Natchez–Vidalia Bridge are two #twincantilever bridges carrying US Routes 65, 84 and 425 across the Mississippi River between #Vidalia, #Louisiana and #Natchez, #Mississippi. The original bridge, built in October 1940, has only two 8ft lanes and lacks shoulders, and now carries all westbound traffic. The newer, eastbound bridge completed in 1988, has 11ft lanes with inside and outside shoulders. Eastbound traffic is heavier, as that crossing goes into Natchez and connects with US Highway 61, where travelers can continue north to Vicksburg and south to Baton Rouge.
