Monroe Ruston road bridge opens with no detour
Last night a steel girdered concrete bridge on the Dixie Overland highway east of Choudrant was opened to traffic, removing detours for the Monroe Ruston trip. Built by Eugene B. Haynes of West Monroe at $15,000, the bridge started in April and is touted as among the state’s best. Originally slated to open during Huey Long’s Ruston to Monroe tour, a heavy truck pressingly tested the bridge, leading to its early opening to general traffic.
