caption: "This “mock-up” shows the existing Highway LA-1 and Leeville Bridge in coastal \r\nLouisiana (on the right) with a planned new, elevated bridge that would retain functionality under \r\nfuture, higher sea level conditions (center left). (Current sea level and sinking bridge are shown \r\nhere.) A 7-mile portion of the planned bridge has been completed and opened to traffic in \r\nDecember 2011.
