Definitions

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.”
