The upcoming Louisiana DLC for American Truck Simulator takes you deep into the American South. This region is famous for its unique culture, landscapes, and a vast network of waterways. Where there are waterways, there are bridges. Today, the developers are showcasing a selection of iconic bridges you will drive across in this new map expansion. These structures are more than just engineering marvels. They are crucial lifelines connecting Louisiana’s cities and communities.

The Mighty Mississippi River Crossings

The powerful Mississippi River cuts right through Louisiana. Crossing it requires monumental bridges. One is the Horace Wilkinson Bridge in Baton Rouge. It’s the highest bridge over the Mississippi and a vital link for both local traffic and long-haul truckers. Further south in New Orleans, the Crescent City Connection offers a dramatic skyline view. This bridge guides you into the heart of the city. A bit farther along the Mississippi, the Huey P. Long – O.K. Allen Bridge provides another scenic and historical crossing.

Unique Spans and Engineering Feats

One of the most impressive bridges in the Louisiana DLC is the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. It holds the title for the longest continuous bridge in the world. Hauling a heavy load over this massive expanse feels as epic as it sounds. Out west in Lake Charles, you will find the Calcasieu High Bridge and the Calcasieu River Bridge. These are vital links in a busy industrial corridor. Drivers will also pass pipelines and humming refineries. The Houma Twin Bridges give you a glimpse of the coastal lifestyle. The Leeville Bridge and the Louisiana Highway 1 Bridge lead you deep into the state’s marshy landscapes.

Explore Louisiana’s Unique Identity

Every bridge in the American Truck Simulator: Louisiana DLC tells a story. They are tales of commerce, connection, and character. From towering steel arches to sturdy river crossings, these landmarks are a defining part of Louisiana’s identity. The developers can’t wait for you to drive across them and take in the views.
