[yoquieroseramada]

Hey man,u going to get kill and others...

[rashadb00]

HAS ANY ONE EVER WENT OVERBOARD OR DIED ON THIS BRIDGE???

[RetroArcadia]

this used to be the longest bridge over water, now china has the longest

[RaeElzie]

This shit is an ordeal I hated crossing it

[AlienPossum]

I remember driving over that bridge twice a day with my mom. it still scares me to this day, I never got over it.

[swiiift233]

it is not the world longest bridge

[TheRjhalo]

@swiiift233 It use to be, than china had to make some bridges.

[SteveCarras]

@swiiift233

Right. There is a bridge in China, that is 26 miles long now.

[TheJoe1523]

bitch get cho van drivin ass on

[powershop1903]

My guess is you are driving a older chevy van. Any takers???

[wesnugglewithgaycats]

Going to Lousienna for a missions trip. Stayin in covington and crossing this bridge twice a day to get into new Orleans. Leaving Saturday, should be fun

[sandhu6000]

@Aleka517 that's what she said :)

[nickniteq93]

Nothing to scoff at.  After about 5 mins all you see is water. Not for hydrophobes by any means.

[MATTBOBVV]

What's the car?just wondering.

[CrazyMonkey385]

I cross that bridge everyday.

[fatboy2oo]

LOL. I thought they were moving really fast at first. I was like... WHOA!!! then I saw people speeding past them even faster, and at last heard the high pitched squeel in the background and realized it is being fast forwarded.

[zombiekids19]

holy poop

[neqah1]

lol peole keep passing them up

[wylievc]

No its not the longest bridge in the world.. although it is the longest bridge to cross over a body of water. the Bang Na Expressway is 1.4 times longer and if you look at railroad the Weihe Grand Bridge is over 2 times longer

[fatboy2oo]

@wylievc

I was going to post this exact same thing. It is the longest bridge entirely over a body of water. Also the longest Twin Span (if I can call it that, not sure...) completely over water.

[SceneWannaBe24]

Yes this is a very long bridge. I've been on it so much it seems shoter now but when I was little I rememeber thinking it felt like hours. I remember one time going across it with my Teddy bear my head on the window and It felt like forever.

[SteveCarras]

@SceneWannaBe24

Depending on how slow you hafta drive, or your parents, in turn depending on weather, and whether or not the northside-placed bascule bridge opens [I actually went across this in 1995] it CAN be up to fiftity minutes...Just think of it as a marathon bridge.

[switchbass14]

ive been on it so often it feels like the length of the video now

[Ishcoa]

I wonder why they call it a Causeway. It's a bridge!

[ANKOBROWN]

Overseas Highway is kind of similar to Lake Pontchartrain Causeway!

[SteveCarras]

BTW The longest bridges in the world

----The Lake Pontchatrain and nearby causeways 24 mi

----One of Canada's bridges, 18

-----Another in Japan that has almost bested the Pontchartrain [need names of thse

----Chesapeake [the one with the tunnell] 17-1/2 mi

----Sunshine Skyway 15

----San Mateo , 8 miles

[tophat95]

Woah, there really is a lake pontchartrain! Did you see any zombies or hear any voices singing "Come down to lake pontchartrain. Rest your soul and feed your brain!" ???

*is Ludo fan* :D

[roboman79]

Wow, I was watching a thing on it today on TV, There thinking about making a 3rd part of the bridge.

5 stars

[OuchIHurtMyNuts]

that bridge is huge but the lake is HUGE

[trainman200818]

i went on it before it's long it feels like forever

[SteveCarras]

What if Lake Michigan or her sisters [Eerie,etc.] had THEIR caueswaysa..they'd be the longest bridges in the world.New Orleans area has not just this but a PAIR, and the southern side has some almost as long ones.

[tannerday]

I go on this all the time

[lukevash]

home sweet home

[lynnster516]

I hated crossing this bridge whenever I needed to get to that side of town...it was soooooooooooooooooo damn long seems like the trip would never ever ever end lol !

[SteveCarras]

How about if you were scared to death..like if there had been the highets suspension span [not that this ever has had one]?

[ShellHound73]

Wow, long bridge. But drive faster.

[killerpoozdashit]

how long does it take to cross in real time?

[austin85cw]

The speed limit's 65mph and it's about 24 miles long so it would take about 22 minutes.

[weysst]

Awesome.

[6V92TA]

dude...speed up! lol

[Xxhokagenumber87xX]

Ludo would be proud

[anbu5itachi]

that bridge is a level in 007 everything or nothing

[1moe7]

i know! love playin that part! lol

[buykh2ordie]

It looks evil.

[johny3010]

its not that bad once you get used to it, i cross it five days a week for work and my dad has crossed it everyday for work since 1972 when he moved to mandeville.

[narutomaster2121]

rofl u hav no idea. man i went over that bridge alast 125 times

[garrett9191]

Bang Na is the longest elevated roadway. But who cares about that, it doesn't even cross a body of water. Where's the challenge? That's the reason it gets excluded from all the lists because it's not a big deal bridge.

[CharXiTh]

Lake Pontchartrain Causeway is the second longest bridge in the world. The first is the Bang Na Expressway.

[itzajdmting]

I saw this bridge once on google maps n thought "whoa, that's long!". Do they define a difference between bridges and causeways though these days? I know there are some huge causeways in the US, very impressive. May as well be bridges in my book. Have you seen the huge suspension bridge in Japan though, my god that's big lol.

[Ranger0n20s]

i work on that bridge as a diving bridge inspector, really awesome job... but can be dangerous at times!

[stickdeathbr]

Must be damn boring crossing those bridges.. Specially if you took a ride with this video's driver - even big trucks overtook him.

[itzajdmting]

speed doesn't really make things more exciting though does it? if he was doing a constant 100mph and there was no traffic you wouldn't know any different. It's only cos ppl are overtaking you think he's going slowly.

[allen21478]

Your caption times are too short. (don't have enough time to read them w/out pausing.) Add Mandeville, causeway, and Metairie in your tags section. I cross this bridge 3x a week to go to school. You get used to it.

[SteveCarras]

Ha! If I drove across that I'd pack a LOT of Little Debbie Swiss Rolls....that is a very, very, very, very, long bridge.

[InfamouzRedzz]

dude looks as if he driving a little patrol vehicle or some bridge maintainance vehicle nice footage

[glandich]

why are you driving so slow? everybody's passing you up... haha

[dc061093]

id u know if ur in the middle of the bridge u cant see land if ur in the middle

[dc061093]

i was born in new orleans, now i live in destrehan its by new orleans i hate when i have to cross that bridge but i have to see most of my famly who lives in slidell , any ways that bridge takes forever for a bridge

[DarkSasuke24]

And now Ludo has based their song (at least the name) from that lake. Amazing song.

Does the lake eat people? *is joking*

[HotSIzZle12]

p.s. what if u ran out of gas right smack in the middle? or if natures calling realll bad?

[LSUguy25]

I'm from New Orleans, if that happens, you have to get out and walk.

[shonshons]

or hitch.. hehe

[aintmybabyfour]

or call motorist aid and ask them to tow you to the end and then walk to the nearest gas station and and if you have gas containers fill em up....yall....yes i live in new orleans

[boddah1922]

They have call-boxes and police bases every mile.

[HotSIzZle12]

too bad it was cloudy :/

[swift97149]

been over i like it once you get in the middle you cant see and its only a few fet above the water

[cadillacad]

Worlds longest bridge.

[WadeSimMiser]

I could stand in the middle of that bridge and not see land in either direction! That's so long this bridge is!

[Mindraker1]

I don't miss commuting that thing every day... that got tiresome. Man, and the fog that was so thick, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. And the heavy rain... god, the heavy rain, did I mention you couldn't see your hand in front of your face?

[tapoculos]

dude i drive over that bridge every day to and from work...not scary but a hell of a drive

[planemadmatt]

It must take a hell of a lot of work to keep that bridge well kept!

[gameover10]

dat wud scare me

[TheLWB]

[juddypants]

its not that long

[bllau2]

its 25miles long

[boddah1922]
