It is one of the first four bridges built by the Port of New Orleans in the 1920's in order to provide railroad access across the Inner Harbor-Navigational Canal, locally referred to as the Industrial Canal. Besides Seabrook Railroad Bridge, two of the sister bridges at St. Claude Avenue and Almonaster Avenue Bridge, remain in service today. The bridge has a horizontal clearance of 79 feet with unlimited vertical clearance when fully retracted. Since rail traffic is limited, the bridge is normally in a raised position to facilitate waterway traffic.
