Notes
  • Significance: Bayou Teche Bridge is the oldest existing steel I-beam swing span in Louisiana. This bridge is 246 feet long and 15 feet wide. A hand-operated, equal arm swing span bridge, it was designed for a live load of 7.5 tons. The steel swing span is 106 feet long, the remaining length being made up of timber trestle approaches. The bridge was altered when a column bracing (guywires) was added. Routine maintenance has included the replacement of pilings.
