Bridge Curfews

The Port of New Orleans owns and operates four bridges across the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal. To help expedite vehicular traffic during peak drive times, the bridges will not be drawn for maritime traffic (except in the case of an emergency) during restricted hours on weekdays (Monday-Friday), excluding Federal Holidays. These restricted hours are known as bridge curfews.
