When traffic comes to a stop on your side of the bridge and you get stuck on it and the other direction is still going, you can feel the bridge bouncing up and down quite a bit. Another thing I hate is when you are coming over the peak and traffic is stopped on the downside, by the time you see the brake lights, it’s almost too late to stop.
I live near Lake Charles and I sometimes cross this bridge often, and I will say, the anxiety is REAL with this bridge. But I tend to remind myself that this unstable trap survived 160 mph wind from hurricane Laura not too long ago. EVERYONE was surprised when they came back to find this bridge still standing.
Yes, it’s the people. Bridges and roads are only as dangerous as the drivers make it. Because of stupid people and lawsuits, the have guardrails and barricades around anything and everything, have you seen one around here that doesn’t have dents in it. There are more crashes today than there were when guardrails didn’t exist. The drama queens on here making the comments make me laugh, yet cry at the same time, for humanity.
I just moved to Sulphur recently and had a panic attack crossing that bridge on a clear day. I haven’t gone back to Lake Charles yet. Unfortunately almost everything I need to do is over there…
I recently worked in Westlake for 6 weeks. Westlake and Lake Charles are nice little towns and the Shell Beach Drive area is particularly beautiful. The I-10 bridge however, is the most ill-designed, dangerous piece of crap I have ever encountered. I had been over it before, once or twice, but when you cross it every day you begin to understand just how bad it is, from an engineering and capacity standpoint. And I'm a Kentuckian, who used to cross the I-75 Brent Spence bridge every day for 4 decades. These are two of the most over worked, out-of-date bridges in the nation. Let's get these bridges replaced or at least upgraded/ augmented. Only a second bridge will suffice on I-75, and I suggest the I-10 in Lake Charles should be entirely torn down and replaced. God bless the citizens of the Lake Charles area, I love you all. Uncle Ray Ray
The building of the Lake Charles/Calcasieu River bridge was completed in 1952. That was 70 years ago! At the top of it is a dedicatory marker indicating it was erected during the administration of Governor Earl K. Long (1948-1952). [EKL was brother of the more famous (and infamous) Huey Long.] The bridge was ORIGINALLY part of U.S. Hwy. 90, and was "grandfathered" into Interstate 10. The Federal Interstate Highway Act was not passed until 1956. It is worth noting that Louisiana State and Federal Highway/Bridge inspectors deemed the bridge dangerously unsafe WELL OVER ten years ago; and urged its replacement be expedited. But there is no state priority to do anything. I've crossed the bridge many times, and I pray it doesn't collapse! It is one of the oddest bridge designs I have ever seen.
@@michaelwascom62 i pray too!! i drive really fast(which i know is not safe) i only do that if there is not much traffic.& IF im feeling brave that day..which im usually not ever feeling...and im literally saying to myself please don't let me get stuck on here..please let traffic be flowing!!!
@@michaelwascom62 the unsafe rating ("Structurally Deficient") is because of the steep grade and lack of shoulders, not an indicator that the bridge is ready to collapse. If it were close to collapse it would be closed.
@@yossarian6799 Thanks for the reply. If the I-10 Lake Charles (Calcasieu River) bridge were in imminent danger of collapse, I would certainly hope authorities would close it to traffic. But as heavily trafficked as it is, and considering it is 70 years old, there is no urgent or even eminent plan at state or federal level to replace or upgrade the structure. When it is a federal highway running through Louisiana, the ongoing debate is WHO should finance upgrade cost: Federal or State?, or a combination of the two? They do not (generally) build bridges like this anymore, and I am grateful.
Cross this bridge multiple times a week. Before Rainbow bridge, Port Arthur as a stupid kid, hit right at 57 mph on bicycle & over 125mph on motorcycle. Almost hit wild swamp hog & her 5 hoglets which crossed in front of that bridge about 1am when I was young & stupid. Not that I turned into a blessed genius as I got older. Just recalling a couple of asinine things done as a teenager.
First went across this bridge 20 years ago on my way to Houston. This was my first time traveling I-10. Going across this bridge, and the Mississippi River bridge in Baton Rouge, was a little intimidating. I'm glad I was by myself, and not with people who may have been freaked out going across a bridge that high.
@@mikelee6936 Honestly, I don't remember crossing it. I've crossed many a bridges that cross the O'l mighty Mississippi, 4 of them in the New Orleans area. Only one, the Huey P. Long scares the Blue Runners beans out of me. 🥵😱
@@sergioamayajr.5868 Well this particular bridge doesn’t cross the Mississippi it crosses the calcusieu river as it pours into lake Charles the actual lake
@@sergioamayajr.5868 , you could have by passed the bridge by going thru Deweyville Texas or some other route where you got off I10 and later got back on I10. I will never cross it again.
It's funny reading comments about how scary it is I'm from lake Charles and have been over it thousands of times. Sometimes during bad storms. I guess I'm just used to it. And I'm actually afraid of heights
@@sherryvenable3981 I'm afraid of heights but honestly, I didn't find this bridge that bad. But after traveling to Orange on the Veterans Memorial bridge, I said heck no. I'm heading north to IH10 to go back to Houston through Beaumont.😅
lmao i ddint know people were so scared of this bridge!! grew up there and drove over it many times, never thought twice. always loved seeing the golden nugget and laburge appear into view.
Driving over it in the SUV on the way to Florida or the scariest drive of my life.. you can't see over the hood when you're going on that angle so you're basically driving blind.. heart-stopping will never do it again
I stopped driving over this bridge years ago. I'm not afraid of the height or the incline, but rather the lack of maintenance! That bridge will collapse and too many people will die. Just take the I-210 one.
I literally just crossed this bridge on Saturday and Sunday when I went to go watch the LSU game. Probably the most scary bridge I’ve ever been on in my life.
Don't worry about collapse. It's out-dated/not up to current standards and it looks terrible underneath, but my father was one of the contractors charged with maintaining it over the years and he's always said that it is very sturdy.
I live in Lake Charles and cross this bridge all the time. Usually doesn't bother me unless there is an accident and you're stuck on the bridge...you can feel it away.. then I have anxiety lol
I've never been over this bridge, I've never even been to louisiana. My question is this, why does it go up to such a steep point and back down? Why didn't they just build it like a regular bridge? I mean it's neat this way it is. I was just curious.
The first time I went over the Lake Charles Bridge was in 1977 on the way to Baton Rouge with some friends and I've been going over it every since Old as it is I'm amazed it's still standing
Can’t prove it but word is getting a new bridge. We shall see. IMO for different reasons I personally feel that 2-10 bridge can be quite dangerous as well. Safe driving everyone!
If you look closely at the side rails you see it's two pistols in a cross pattern that you might see on a family Crest. It's actually named the Israel Lafleur bridge. But most people don't know it by that name. Only as the 210 bridge or lake Charles bridge
After about 20 years and over a hundred times going over this bridge someone said "wow check out the pistols" I said "what pistols" "on the bridge railing" Funny thing is I noticed them my very first time when I was 6 or 7 years old.
Everytime I pass on this bridge the view is crazy!! I’ve been trying to find out what’s the bridge far left from this one that bridge also looks cool to drive on. Does anyone know the name of that bridge?
I remember last year on a trip for school (competition) we were going to Thibodaux, Louisiana and since going to Louisiana of course we had to cross this bridge. I remember we had crossed this bridge I was taking a good nap and all of a sudden I hear just a bunch of people on a bus just start screaming "LOOK LOOK OUTTGE WINDOW ITS A BIG BRIDGE!!!" I got scared because I thought something else had happened but then when I realized we were high up I recorded but didn't really get a good recording cuz I was kind of half sleep. Every time I think back to that trip always remember the bridges we had encountered in the games you play on the way Simon says, and i spy. It was pretty fun to go and see all those different places and bridges
Walked across this bridge and the railroad tracks parallel to it many times when we were younger. Chris it on my motorcycle from time to time now. It’s not that bad
I drove a big rig over this bridge and I will never forget how terrified I was, then the second time it was absolutely nothing scary at all I was wondering if I was on a different bridge 😂❤
The only things that gives me anxiety going over a talk bridge is busy traffic and going up the incline. Once im at the top and starting to descend on the other side I"m fine.
That's just people who can't drive. The speed limit is 50, signs are posted showing this. I go over the bridge almost EVERY day and have never had any issues.
That bridge is kind of similar to a bridge in Philadelphia called the Girard Point Bridge. You should check it out though the Lake Charles Bridge has a slope that I've never seen before. Wow.
This appears to be the I-10 bridge which might be a little scary but I believe the 210 bridge is more scary, mainly because it has a rather large curve in it.
I have been over this bridge I grew up in Lake Charles and it is one of the most dangerous in the country. It badly needs repair just like the rest of our crumbling Infrastructure.
Wow look at the view. It was a thrill as a kid to see it coming up. Back then it looked like you were going to shoot off into space. Unfortunately they built a lower bridge south of it, so ships can no longer pass. The Interstate 10 bridge in Baton Rouge has even more to see. Because of age both of these bridges are either being replaced or bypassed.
Funny, I thought I was the only one who got anxiety attacks when crossing this particular bridge. When I was in my 20s, 30s, 40s it didn't effect me at all. This bridge in Lake Charles and the Sky Bridge in St.Petersburg, Fl are the worst. The bridge on I-10 Baton Rouge to me isn't as bad. Only because of the structural ceiling beams throughout the bridge make it seem I'm not as high. Preference St. Petersburg only because the sea food is magnificent. Much rather come off an anxiety attack with great sea food waiting for me to calm me down. Eating catfish coming off the other two bridges would only enhance the attack. Blessings Always!!!
Just by watching this video I don’t see what’s scary about it. I get that it’s high but it’s not completely surrounded by water or long for that matter so I don’t see anything to fear about this bridge
read a story more than 10 years ago where an engineer drove across it and then went and looked under the bridge and he refused to drive back across it it is in really bad shape and large trucks cross it constantly the weight is too much for this bridge
