Green Bridge

This bridge was completed in 1967 and actually named the Paris Road Bridge. Because it was painted green it soon gained the name the Green Bridge. Currently (2024) it is undergoing a $41.6m rebuild though originally it cost $12,250,000 to build. It is also supposed to be repainted green once it reopens. The Green Bridge is an important evacuation route from New Orleans.

The Green Bridge is the unofficial local name of the Paris Road Bridge carrying Louisiana Highway 47 across the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet between St. Bernard Parish and New Orleans, Louisiana. It is sometimes also called Paris Road Bridge.

The green bridge is not green and from everyone I have talked to it never was. I drove over that bridge twice a day going to and returning from work, I love the bridge its great just not green,.

Will be closed at 9:00pm on 2/4/2022 through Monday 2/7/2022

Not a green bridge

Finally it will green bridge again instead of rust bridge

I reccomend going on this bridge at least once in your life. The view is gorgeous and the bridge isn't excessively long. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that it's very rusty. But, ya know, it's understandable since you can't be painting that thing all the time. But seriously, what a beautiful place to put a bridge! 💚

Nicely designed bridge. The bridge is widely known as the green bridge because it was green at one point, but that was many years ago. Other names the bridge is known by is the Paris road bridge or the Chalmette bridge.

Beautiful
