History
Interstate 310 was originally planned, along with Interstate 510, as part of Interstate 410, a southern beltway around the New Orleans metro area. In 1977, I-410 was cancelled and the two interstates were split into their current components. The Luling Bridge was completed in 1983, one of the first parts of I-310 to open. I-310 was built through the 1980s and early 1990s and was completed on May 7, 1993, with the last section of construction being the Destrehan Swamp Bridge.
