Road Trip

Road Trip #520 - Louisiana Highway 18 West - Westwego/Bridge City
Part 2 of our LA-18 series, we enter the city of Westwego, where LA-18 follows 4th Street through town. Then we head back north to the River Road, where LA-18 runs concurrent with LA-541 and the Great River Road for a short stretch. We enter Bridge City and make a beeline for the Huey P. Long Bridge and US Highway 90. After a short concurrency with US-90, LA-18 turns right and heads for Avondale. The video ends at the western terminus of LA-541, where the Great River Road returns to LA-18, as it will remain through the end of the highway.

I was born in Bridge City and went to school in Westwego. I moved away 32 years ago when I was 13. I've only been able to go back twice since I moved away. I've had so many dreams about being on this road. Thank you so much for this video. 💗

River Road brings so many memories, I actually used it yesterday to get to Audubon. Cool drive!

[@waltersaul1807]

Extraordinary! The main route west of the Mississippi (especially until the West Bank Expressway), tons of commercial and industrial development, and still only 2 lanes and a max of 35 mph! And not much local government, it seems, with all these unincorporated communities. A very different drive here and in #519. Good to see.

My friend thought I made up this town up when I mentioned stayed here during my birthday weekend. Thank goodness for Google map.

Thanks for a great trip down there! I have a friend who just purchased a house next to Audubon Park so I will be heading to New Orleans soon hopefully.

[@504RoadTrips]

Have fun!

I attended OLPS and would stare out the window watching those old MoPac GP7's and Southern Pacific MP-15's gathering tank cars and delivering bagasse to Celotex. SP had Wigwag grade crossing signals back then before they tore up their line. Another lifetime in a faraway place now.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention anything about the old Plantation that once stood @ River Road and Bridge City Ave.
