Vertical Lift Bridges are the most dominant type of moveable bridge in Lower southeast/southern Louisiana. They are perfect for the Shrimp Trawler boats which are tall. These waterways are also used by smaller oil rig "crew boats" as well as some non commercial fishing and pleasure vessels, which are moored all along these bayous and waterways for miles inland.
Visit Instructions:
1) After you've found a vertical lift bridge, go visit it, get the coordinates, a picture or two of it, and if it is in use or not still as a lift bridge.
Then log it and post your pictures! At least one of the photos must be of you and your GPS there with the bridge in the background. (No old vacation shots or photos off the internet!)
2) Include the coordinates, city/county/state/country and the name of the bridge (if it has one).
3) Include any interesting information about the structure
