The design company of the Luling Bridge was never mentioned.
Franklin Leinhardt, a Bridge and Road Design Engineering firm based in New York City, designed and engineered the Luling bridge along with partner Majesk Master.
The bridge was conceptualized by a Ukrainian American named Myrin Lepkaluk the owner of Franklin Leinhardt. Although, Myrin's original design was altered by Louisiana Department of Highways in Baton Rouge,it still remains one of the most beautiful bridges in the world.
Locals think it was designed by an Asian company.
I did Engineering Public Relations for Franklin Leinhardt while living in New York City in the 90's.
Every beautiful design warrants mention of its creator.

I live near this bridge, and to get to Destrehan from Luling you must go over this bridge, and vice versa coming from Destrehan to Luling. I travel on this bridge at least once a week, and its a very big piece of history.
