Note: Entering Louisiana from the east, U. US Highway 90, one of the major east-west US Highways in the Southern United States, runs through southern Louisiana, serving S. 90 follows a similar path as Interstate 10 through Slidell and into New Orleans. New Orleans (nʲuːˈɔrliənz nʲuːˈɔrlənz French: La Nouvelle-Orléans) is a major United States port city and the largest city in Louisiana In New Orleans, U. S. 90 and I-10 part ways: I-10 goes to Baton Rouge, while U. Baton Rouge (French Bâton-Rouge ˌbætən ˈruːdʒ in English, and in French) is the capital city of Louisiana. S. 90 takes a southern turn, passing through the Houma-Thibodaux area, Morgan City, Franklin, and New Iberia before reaching Lafayette. Houma (ˈhoʊmə and /ˈhuːmə/  is the Parish seat of Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, United States, and the largest principal city Thibodaux (pronounced "TIB-uh-doe" ˈtɪbədoʊ or "TIB-oh-doe" /ˈtɪbodoʊ/ is a small City in and the Parish seat of Lafourche Morgan City (previously known as Brashear is a City in St Martin and St Franklin is a city in and the Parish seat of St Mary Parish, Louisiana, United States.

Prior to Hurricane Katrina, Mississippi's portion of Highway 90 was entirely four-laned except for a very short segment at the state's west end leading to the old Pearl River Bridge into Louisiana. That segment of old highway is obviated for most purposes by an extension of the four-lane roadway from its divorce with Hwy 90 to the I-10 just east of the much newer Pearl Bridge.
Before Katrina, the 26-mile (42 km) stretch of 90 running from the St. Louis Bay Bridge at the west end to the Biloxi Bay Bridge at the east was one of the most scenic roadways in the South, offering beautiful views of the Gulf of Mexico on its south side and lovely mansions - some antebellum - on its north. The median featured many old, stately oak trees, a good number of which survived the blow.
Many segments and important bridges were heavily damaged or destroyed in the August 2005 hurricane. With the opening of two lanes of the Biloxi Bay Bridge on November 1, 2007[4], the entire route is now restored. However, reconstruction projects continue on much of the highway and lane closures are not rare. Substantial completion of all Highway 90 Katrina-related road work in this state is expected by the end of 2008.
As of January 4, 2008, major construction on the St. Louis Bay Bridge is complete and all traffic lanes are now open. [5] Motorists should exercise caution as crews continue work to complete bridge lighting, signage and the pedestrian/bicycle lane running alongside the east-bound traffic lanes.

Among the outstanding features of U. US Highway 90 (US-90 internally designated by the Alabama Department of Transportation as State Route 16 (SR-16 is a major east-west State highway S. Highway 90 in Alabama is its trek across Mobile Bay and across the Cochrane-Africatown USA Bridge.

Hurricane Ivan was the strongest hurricane of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season. Santa Rosa County is a County located in the US state of Florida. Escambia County is the westernmost County in the US state of Florida.

Two-way traffic resumed on the eastbound lanes of the bridge on May 17, 2007 after an afternoon ceremony[7], effectively ending the temporary ferry service. The remaining half of the bridge opened to traffic on January 4, 2008. [8]
On June 6, 2006, a $338. 6 million contract was let for the Biloxi-Ocean Springs replacement.
