The sun has set over Bonnet Carre' Spillway...
Best: View On Black
This is the intersection of the spillway with the Mississippi River. The spillway was opened this year due to the very high river levels to keep from flooding the New Orleans area,. Up river the Morgnza Spillway was also opened to relieve flooding of Baton Rouge and New Orleans. If they had not opened both spillways these cities and other nearby areas would have had massive flooding!!!! The Bonnet Carre' Spillway is now closed and mostly drained but the lower road has been damaged and repairs will soon be made. The Morganza Spillway was closed a few weeks ago.
