Debris such as a freezer, butane tank and logs have been building up near the bridge located south of Crowley in Vermilion Parish.
Logs, branches and more have been blocked by the pilings on the wooden bridge crossing Bayou Queue de Tortue. Petry Bridge Road ends at the bridge and becomes G. Simon Road as it enters Vermilion Parish. Two of three dead alligators (upper right of photo) can be seen from the side of the bridge.
Bayou Blockage
Debris - including logs, branches, discarded appliances, and even a few alligator carcasses - has been collecting along the northeast side of a bridge over Bayou Queue de Tortue, and area residents are concerned.
The bridge in question connects Acadia and Vermilion parishes and is on Petry Bridge Road on the Acadia side and G. Simon Road on the Vermilion side. The bridge is on the northwest end of Vermilion Parish.
