Thanks for the help.

I did that once, coming from Pensacola to Port Sulpher. I took Paris Road to Chalmette, then down the river to the Belle Chase Ferry.

My buddies that crossed the bridge to Gretna got to Port Sulpher an hour before I did.

I would only do for scenic purposes.

Crescent City Connection ( Bridge by the Dome) to the West Bank, to Terry Parkway, to Belle Chase Highway. It will get slow close to the dome and on that merge. But faster than sitting in the ferry line, and then not able to board it, and have to wait on the next one.

I am a Gretna Boy.
