The Claiborne Avenue Bridge, also known as the Judge William Seeber Bridge, is a vertical lift bridge located in New Orleans, Louisiana. Built in 1957 by the Louisiana Department of Highways, it spans over the Industrial Canal and carries four vehicular lanes of North Claiborne Avenue. The bridge has faced several disasters, including a barge collision in 1993, damage from Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and a car plunging into the canal in 2008 due to a malfunction.
Located in the 9th Ward of New Orleans, the Claiborne Avenue Bridge serves as a vital link between the city and neighboring communities such as Arabi and Chalmette. It is often used by locals who may not be aware of its official name. With a longest span of 360 feet, the bridge accommodates both vehicle and marine traffic, playing a crucial role in transportation in the area.
