File:New Orleans 17th Street Canal filling.JPG

Summary

Building roadway toward the New Orleans 17th Street Canal breach.

Looking towards the River.

Metarie, Louisiana on right side, West End/Lakeview neighborhoods of New Orleans on left. The Old Hammond Highway Bridge is at front center; in the background the Metarie Road bridge over the canal can be seen.

This is clearly the famous breach in the Canal after Hurricane Katrina in September of 2005. (Camera's datestamp of January 3 2002 is obviously wrong.)
