I ALSO HAVE CROSSED THIS BRIDGE SEVERAL TIMES. IT IS IMPRESSIVE. SOME PEOPL JUST GOTTA FOAM AT THE MOUTH BECAUSE THEY LOVE TO HEAR THEMSELVES TALK AND CRAVE THE ATTENTION. THEY ARE FOR THE MOST PART MILLIDIOTS.
I drove on this bridge during the super fog last week and it was the scariest experience I’ve ever had. This bridge is the reason I have a glass breaker attached to my visor.
I drove the Causeway twice a day for eight years commuting from Mandeville to New Orleans. I would often see people buying a “Causeway” can of beer (16 oz.) to hold them over until they got home . I preferred an extra large coffee 😀.
I remember coming over this as a kid as the sun was setting, it looked like we we’re driving toward the end of the world. Now, it’s just a long ass bridge/an occasional 30 of my day
I'm from California Sacramento area. But I have family there in Mandeville I've Ben over that bridge more than a few times as a kid, even fished next to it when my mom lived by it. I've also heard my share of stories from people's experiences on the causeway.. Thanks for ur upload
I had a total blowout - to the rim on that bridge driving a triumph spitfire sports car- stupid me doing about 80 - lucky I was in the slow lane and only about a mile from the end- Used one of my nine lives- I was 20 years old. Dude when u are young- I drove a lot then cross country etc. Since sixteen - never drove under the influence. Another time I was driving on the Hollywood freeway- during the summer - not a lot of traffic- in a Porshe 914 - and my hood malfunctioned and blew up in my face - cracked the entire windshield- created a weird kind of an air tunnel- lucky the hood did not blow off from its hinges- those cars were a POS- lucky again- exited the freeway- parked the car- walked to KFC. Had it towed later.- After eating- lol .I was 24 then- another one of my nine lives gone- not going to bore with other close calls while traveling on the water and in the bayous- Anyways to be young again! WORKING OFFSHORE- CRAZY CAJUN- LOL
Every time I drive over it I be hyperventilating. I grew up in Mandeville and live in New Orleans so I have to cross it pretty often. I moved to nola 6 years ago and it still makes me PANIC
I have to cross the I-10 bridge over Mobile Bay in Alabama every day, I can only imagine what it’s like for folks that have to drive over this beast daily😬I have always wanted to visit the Pontchartrain Causeway but I KNOW it’d freak me out because I can hardly handle the I-10 bridge that goes to New Orleans😂
This is a good bucket list item, but is it safe now with them crashing the bridges like the Baltimore one? I hope they have some security now to keep us safe.
You should take a look at some of the videos done with a zoom camera that show the opposite shore, there is a good video out there showing the power poles crossing the lake and sure enough 18 miles on the other side you can see the shore.
i’m from nashville tennessee but my boyfriend lives in Mandeville and I’ll be moving down there soon. not excited to drive over this thing by myself for the first time 😂 my boyfriend always drives on it for me cuz he grew up doing it
@@LouisianaDread omg yes it is! I remember my first time driving across it as an adult it was dark and a little foggy, it was like being featured in a movie, u just gotta drive and you CANNOT close your eyes 😂😱🫣
It has! The Mardi Gras Marathon was held on it from 1979 to 1984 because they couldn't get enough police to close off a street course in the city. It's far from ideal, though. Very boring, with no room for spectators and water stations except at the crossovers, and lots of problems with wind.
I've travelled this bridge. It's surreal - but I love it. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with some people. Like, if you can't handle driving over water (spoiler alert: born and raised on the coast), there's no hope for you.
For some with a level of driving anxiety it might not be about the water. Feeling ‘trapped’ on a seemingly endless bridge could do it, the vast flatness and expansive space could trigger agoraphobia. Just driving straight for so many miles, seemingly easy, can also trigger panic. It’s certainly surreal & I can only imagine how weird it would be if there’s fog.
Because she’s didn’t. Check out our video on Jayne Mansfield and you’ll find out how and where she died! th-cam.com/video/sPSZCnpEgLk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ihw0MGGRxDjIz_Ws
The lake was manmade and before it was a lake it was plantations there and slave graveyards. The army flooded the area where the lake is now. You can still see slave grave sticks where the graves were. The more you know the better off you'll be.
Flat Earther and just asking why are you afraid of taking a photos of the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway from the West or East side of the Lake at water level or from a helicopter from the North shore to the South shore? You do have helicopters in Louisiana? If not, just put a bigger blade on a swamp buggy and buckle up. Then, lay a rule and see how much the causeway curves. Are they just slow in Louisiana? Every coonass I've met seemed to be pretty intelligent. Maybe this idea of a curving bridge that loses 350 feet from one end to the other over flat water is from imported Californication imitation coonass?
Another butt-hurt flat Earther. I’m not surprised you’ve met intelligent people from south Louisiana because there are many. I haven’t met a flat-earther with a brain, unfortunately. Do you have a helicopter I can borrow?
OMG. Dude you can't see any curve on this bridge or the lake. Stop lying. Only rise and fall to this bridge is where boats can go under. In the damn video of you talking it's clearly flat with no 8 inches per mile squared like the globe claims. 😂😂😂 I'm from this area. Nice try buddy

That must’ve been terrifying!
I got pulled over on the bridge and had to walk a “line” on a seam. No ticket, but that was crazy. Nice officers.
Wow that must’ve been quite the experience!
My bad I should have never did that
I used to be so afraid of that happening to me but I decided I would cross that bridge when I get to it.
dUDE U WERE LUCKY THAT THEY WERE NICE- HEHE

Thank you for these videos. I’m a local history nerd. Don’t forget about the bridge not perfectly lining up in the middle perfectly.

Awwww lawd! I hope it gets easier for you eventually 😅
@@LouisianaDread it gets easier!! But it’s so hard not to panic when the fog comes
@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn idk what you mean by young, I’m 24 if that helps ! I cross it every month or so, to see my family
Damn and i thought the chesapeake bay bridge tunnel in Virginia was long.
The Causeway is definitely a marvel
Right. I live in Delaware and thought just the Bay Bridge was something. I'm definitely going to plan a trip to drive over this one.
@@gameshock90Both bay bridges cause a set of problems. The one in Delaware sways like a child beginning to turn rope!!
@datdamndavisboy sit back down! Wtf so typical
@@lovineveryminuetofit1314 Shut your goofy ass up
Most people are so scared that they be speeding to cross the bridge 😂
So many speedsters
My cousin one of them 😂😂😂
Your Acadian Genocide vid was the 1st YT showed me, but you have some GREAT! stuff here, ty for all your great work
Thank you for the kind words! Much more to come!
I am to scared going on a very long bridge during a storm/hurricane
Yea that sounds like a nightmare!
They close it it the weather bad.
“If”
I crossed the bridge to go to Metairie for something if y’all don’t know what Metairie is it’s a city near New Orleans
It sure is
Awesome! You just made me smarter!
Glad I could help!
How did they set the poles. That’s the million dollar question!
They drove until bedrock

Haha it’s an experience for sure my friend. I think you need to worry more about the horrible drivers than anything else.
I used to live 5 blocks from the north end of the Causeway.
It’s a great place to be!
This is a good bucket list item, but is it safe now with them crashing the bridges like the Baltimore one? I hope they have some security now to keep us safe.
I’d be more worried about the horrible drivers on the road.

cause the earth is flat right
water needs a container try hold water on a BALL
@@parody_bear_mikeMmmm, I think gravity does that.
@@FreyaTait Thats what were told to beLIEve. I stopped believing that Idea when I realized water can't do that in a lake or on a "global" ocean scale.
After years of watching “Haunted Mansion” as a kid (I’m 21 now) I always thought this was a fake road lmao. Never knew it actually existed
Hahaha it sure does exist.

We believe in you! You can do it! Also welcome to Louisiana!
I drive for work back and forth every day you got this babe !! There’s multiple rest/ pullover areas
I’m from Chattanooga and iI stay in New Orleans now
Does anyone know if you can use this bridge to get to Seyville in Fire Island? Where can you leave your car? Any info is much appreciated!!!!
Probably the best info would be that Fire Island is in New York and this is in New Orleans. So no to all of the other questions.
This is one scary bridge if you like adventure drive over it day or night it just looks scary 😂
Night time is so scary especially if it’s foggy too
@@LouisianaDread omg yes it is! I remember my first time driving across it as an adult it was dark and a little foggy, it was like being featured in a movie, u just gotta drive and you CANNOT close your eyes 😂😱🫣

This bridge could be used for a marathon.
I agree!

They need to stop charging toll. That ish been paid off an way more
They gotta build more of it first
TWENTY FIVE MILE BRIDGE ON I-10.VILLE PLATTE
Also not continuously over water bruh
Amazing! This video destroys the flat earth pysop. Kudos!
Thank you my friend!
@@LouisianaDread I would have a very difficult time driving over that bridge
Not really
holy crow this used to be a two lane road? f that. I suppose I have always driven over HWY 11, but you can see when that ends
Yea it was like the road to get to Fourchon and Grand Isle. Very dangerous.
It isn't very strong, but I hear that touch of Cajun accent lol
I am a proud Cajun.
I drive across that bihh everyday for work 😮
It’s so beautiful sometimes
We wanted to stop and throw our poles 😩
Mais go do it
Twilight Zone ???? Yesterday I drove my RV going to Waveland Ms BUT I did-not pay any toll. Was the toll dropped recently??
It’s only for people coming from Mandeville. It’s free to cross from Metairie.
Yup don’t forget ya toll money 😂
Yes indeed hahaha
Damn
Yuuuh
Not true. With a telescope, you can see that other side, following the guardrail along the side of the bridge.
Not if you’re on the ground. You have to be several stories up in a building.
hahahaha,nope flat earthers crack me up!
Videos 2 short
Honestly, informative non-20 min videos are kinda refreshing
I have longer videos on Patreon along with a podcast about the episode, but we will be posting longer ones on here soon! Thanks for the feedback.
The causeway is not a bridge. It is a viaduct.
I always assumed viaduct was over land and bridges were over water.
websters -
noun: a long bridge-like structure, typically a series of arches, carrying a road or railroad across a valley or other low ground.
I've travelled this bridge. It's surreal - but I love it. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with some people. Like, if you can't handle driving over water (spoiler alert: born and raised on the coast), there's no hope for you.
Yea it’s rough out there for some. Just something people will have to get used to
