crescent city connection
What does crescent city connection mean?
The pair of cantilever bridges hauling US 90 Business across the Mississippi from downtown New Orleans over to Algiers and the rest of the West Bank. Old-timers still call it the Greater New Orleans Bridge or just 'the GNO'; it was officially rechristened the Crescent City Connection in 1989 when the second span opened. Toll booths came down in 2013 and good luck finding a local who misses them.
"Take the CCC over and stay on the elevated — first exit's General de Gaulle."
