Thanks to Van of Texas, USA for sending this postcard. As mentioned by Van, this postcard should be Indiana, not Louisiana. Interesting error by the postcard printer as this is a very famous bridge in Indiana, USA. It is now used only as a pedestrian bridge. A great addition to my postcard collection of bridges.
