U.S.190 Overpass 1973

 Fifty-three  years ago I took this photograph of concrete bridge beams that had been put in place where Interstate 12 would cross U.S. 190 north of Mandeville. This was a huge project , completing the interstate highway through St. Tammany Parish, and helped save the parish money since it became a major route for commuters coming in from the east and west subdivisions that were along La. 59 and La. 21.
