Once you get into New Orleans, stay in the center or left lane. Once You see the signs for S. Claiborne Ave/Bus. Hwy. 90 West, you will want to be in the far left lane. Bus. 90 will split off from I-10 at the Superdome, you need to be in the far left lane which will turn into Bus. Hwy. 90. Once you get on 90, you will be taken over the Crescent City Connection, a large bridge that turns into the Westbank Expressway. Stay on 90 until the expressway ends.

We love Bayou Segnette – we were there this past week-end. There is a tree planted there (all over actually) with a small pink flower that attracts birds. Can you tell me the name of this tree?? I’d really like to plant one. I have a picture of the one I’m talking about if there is somewhere to post it
Thanks!
Please email the picture to bayousegnette_int@crt.la.gov and I’ll do my best to identify it!
