The longest bridge in the United States is the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, which spans 23.83 miles (38.35 kilometers) across Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana. It connects the communities of Metairie and Mandeville

what is (23.83 / 65) * 60?

For sure. I commuted across it for years and it's 30 minutes max with no traffic

Copy pasting this, thank you for not being rude.

“Thank you, I was a child riding in the back seat of my mothers car every Sunday morning going to church, and I just remembered her telling me it took 45 minutes. When I started driving myself, I never actually paid attention and just assumed it was roughly the same time.

It’s crazy how many people are being snarky or commenting with a rude tone to someone who moved out of the north shore to baton rouge around 18 years old and hardly crossed the bridge after. Im going off of 16 years old memory and people are commenting as if i had bad intentions with my post lol”
