Description: Shreveport, LOUISIANA - Long Allen Bridge - Red River - 1942 - BIRDSEYE: The Long–Allen Bridge is a truss bridge in Bossier City, Louisiana, named for Louisiana governors Huey Long and Oscar K. Allen. Opened in 1933, it carries US 79/US 80 across the Red River. It is also known as the Texas Street Bridge. Shreveport is a city in the U.S. state of Louisiana. It is the third most populous city in Louisiana after New Orleans and Baton Rouge. The Shreveport–Bossier City metropolitan area, with a population of 393,406 in 2020, is the fourth largest in Louisiana, though 2020 census estimates placed its population at 397,590. The bulk of Shreveport is in Caddo Parish, of which it is the parish seat. It extends along the west bank of the Red River (most notably at Wright Island, the Charles and Marie Hamel Memorial Park, and Bagley Island) into neighboring Bossier Parish. Shreveport was founded in 1836 by the Shreve Town Company, a corporation established to develop a town at the juncture of the newly navigable Red River and the Texas Trail, an overland route into the newly independent Republic of Texas.
