The mv. Miss Mollye D, an 86- by 34-foot towboat built in 1961 by Towing Service Inc. in Greenville, Miss., was east-bound on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) on December 22, 2021, with a tow of six hopper barges, when it struck the Route 182 bridge at about 3:26 a.m. The Route 182 bridge, a 90-year-old concrete span that runs parallel to and on the north side of the GIWW, is located east of Morgan City, La. It crosses Bayou Ramos, a non-navigable channel that connects the Bayou Boeuf portion of the GIWW to Lake Palourde to the north. At the time of the incident, the vessel's pilot was at the helm, working the back watch from midnight to 6 a.m. |
