Louisiana: Bridges

The upcoming Louisiana DLC for American Truck Simulator will take you deep into the heart of the American South, a region defined not only by its rich culture and unique landscapes but also by its intricate network of waterways. And where there are waterways, there are bridges!

In today’s blog, we'll be showcasing a selection of iconic bridges that you’ll be able to drive across in this upcoming map expansion. These structures aren’t just impressive feats of engineering; they are crucial lifelines that connect Louisiana’s cities, industries, and communities. And yes, we’ve made sure they look just as grand in-game as they do in real life!

The mighty Mississippi River slices right through Louisiana, and crossing it requires some truly monumental bridges. Among them is the Horace Wilkinson Bridge in Baton Rouge, the highest bridge over the Mississippi and a vital link for both local commuters and long-haul truckers.

Further south in New Orleans, the Crescent City Connection offers a dramatic skyline view as you roll into the heart of the Big Easy. Farther along the Mississippi, the Huey P. Long – O.K. Allen Bridge (also known as the Old Bridge) offers another scenic and historical crossing.

One of the most striking bridges in the DLC is the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, the longest continuous bridge in the world. Trust us, hauling a heavy load over this expanse feels as epic as it sounds.

Out west in Lake Charles, drivers will encounter the Calcasieu High Bridge and Calcasieu River Bridge, vital connectors in a bustling industrial corridor, surrounded by pipelines and the hum of refinery life.

The Houma Twin Bridges give you a glimpse of the coastal lifestyle, while the Leeville Bridge and the Louisiana Highway 1 Bridge lead you deep into southern Louisiana’s marshy edge.

Add to that the Simmesport Bridge and the stunning Veterans Memorial Bridge, and you’ve got a diverse lineup of spans that each bring something special to your trucking journey through the Pelican State.

Every bridge in Louisiana DLC tells a story of commerce, connection, and character. From towering steel arches to sturdy river crossings, these landmarks are a defining part of the state’s landscape, and we can’t wait for you to drive across them, take in the views, and maybe even snap a few screenshots along the way!

Stay tuned for more previews as we continue to reveal what’s in store for American Truck Simulator -  Louisiana.
