Some college students determined to jump or climb across a closed bridge are injuring themselves to do so.
A week ago, city transportation officials announced that the Bob Pettit Blvd. bridge to Tigerland will be shut down for several months in order to be replaced.
One student ended up in the ER with a badly sprained ankle after trying to cross the construction zone on her way home from the area's popular bars.
Baton Rouge EMS responded to the bridge twice over the weekend to treat minor injuries from falls.
