The Chef Menteur Pass is a narrow natural waterway which, along with the Rigolets, connects Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne in New Orleans, Louisiana. It begins at 30°5′45″N 89°48′52″W / 30.09583°N 89.81444°W and follows a generally southeastward course. In the days of sailing ships, much commerce from the Gulf of Mexico sailed through the pass and the Rigolets into Lake Pontchartrain to New Orleans and surrounding communities. The Lake Catherine neighborhood of New Orleans is to the east side of the pass. The Venetian Isles neighborhood of New Orleans is to the west of the pass.

  • The Chef Menteur Pass is a narrow natural waterway which, along with the Rigolets, connects Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne in New Orleans, Louisiana. It begins at 30°5′45″N 89°48′52″W / 30.09583°N 89.81444°W and follows a generally southeastward course. In the days of sailing ships, much commerce from the Gulf of Mexico sailed through the pass and the Rigolets into Lake Pontchartrain to New Orleans and surrounding communities. The Lake Catherine neighborhood of New Orleans is to the east side of the pass. The Venetian Isles neighborhood of New Orleans is to the west of the pass. Chef Menteur Pass was long guarded by Fort Macomb, now an abandoned ruin on the western side of the pass. Two bridges span the pass. The automobile bridge, constructed in 1929, carries U.S. Highway 90; the portion of this road between central New Orleans and the pass was long known as "Chef Menteur Road" before the route became a U.S. highway. Portions are still known as "Chef Menteur Highway." The CSX railroad bridge also spans Chef Menteur Pass a short distance south of the highway bridge. This area was hit hard by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The Highway 90 bridge was the only bridge open from the day that the hurricane struck on 29 August 2005 and remained open for sometime after the hurricane to aid residents of Slidell access to New Orleans and to aid in access to I-10 East, I-12 West and I-59 North. Repairs to the bridge were completed in August 2006. (en)
  • La Passe du Chef menteur (en anglais : Chef Menteur Pass), est une étroite voie navigable naturelle située dans le détroit des Rigolets en Louisiane aux États-Unis. Cet étroit passage permet aux eaux saumâtres du lac Pontchartrain, du lac Sainte-Catherine et du lac Borgne de communiquer entre ces lacs. Le lac Sainte-Catherine est situé à l'est de la passe du Chef menteur. À l'ouest de cette passe s'élèvent les Îles Vénetiennes. Le trafic maritime, provenant du golfe du Mexique, remonte le détroit des Rigolets depuis le lac Borgne pour atteindre le lac Pontchartrain, la métropole de La Nouvelle-Orléans et le fleuve Mississippi. La passe du Chef menteur est protégée par deux fortins, le fort Pike et les ruines du fort Macomb. Deux ponts enjambent la passe du Chef menteur et le détroit des Rigolets, la route U.S. Route 90 passant sur le pont du Chef menteur et le pont du chemin de fer. Après le passage de l'ouragan Katrina en août 2005, le pont routier fut fermé pendant une année. * Portail des lacs et cours d'eau * Portail des États-Unis (fr)
