The Vicksburg Bridge is a cantilever bridge carrying Interstate 20 and U.S. Route 80 across the Mississippi River between Delta, Louisiana and Vicksburg, Mississippi.The Vicksburg Bridge is the northernmost crossing of the Mississippi River in Louisiana open to motor vehicles.
In 1998, when the Old Vicksburg bridge was closed to motor vehicles, U.S. Route 80 (US 80) was routed over the bridge.
In 2013 state officials announced projects to improve the stability of the bridge, and to install underwater radar to assist barge captains in avoiding the bridge, which had been struck by barges repeatedly since its construction.[1]
