It's about saving a part of history. It's about preserving the skilled craftsmanship of earlier times when things were built to last. The Vida Bridge is still here today, but government officials want to take this beloved part of history and make it just that, history, in exchange for a replacement bridge that was once used as a temparary crossing during the construction of a new drawbridge in the town of Delcambre, Louisiana.

There is a movement to save the bridge. A dedicated group of residents consisting of architects and professional engineers along side everyday residents who have rallied together in an effort to save it.
