Bay Bridge up for Peoples Choice Award

As you know the Bridge over the Bay Of Saint Louis was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.  We were isolated from the rest of the Coast for about 21 months.  A simple trip to Pass Christian which used to take about 10 minutes, after "the storm" took about an hour.
 
The new bridge was built with local input.  An art competition was held and their work was crafted into brass plaques made from plates salvaged from the destroyed bridge. 

These plaques are on the walking path every 1/10th of a mile.  At the entrance are pylons also adorned with art.  At night the bridge is a sight to behold with ambient lighting casting a glow into the water below (this is also very good for fishing).
 
The bridge is now a finanlist for the Peoples Choice award in a National Transportation contest.  Take a minute and vote for the Bay Bridge.
