The Atchafalaya basin is very wide, because the Mississippi River is supposed to be in it.

Grrr...

I get to traverse that toward the end of the 14 hr drive down to Baton Rouge.  At least it is a 4 lane, even though there is no shoulder on either side.  Last time it was dark thirty and raining like a mf.  Fun.
And that would have been something, had the "incident" allowed for the Mississippi to jump course into it.  Imagine the catastrophe.

When it was first built, people died if they crashed.

It was a narrow two lane road with no shoulders. Canals were formed on each side, from excavation work to elevate the road.

Death trap.
