The Berwick Bay Bridge is a vertical lift bridge in the U.S. state of Louisiana which carries the BNSF Railway over the Atchafalaya River between Berwick and Morgan City.[2] The bridge is primarily used for freight, but Amtrak runs the Sunset Limited three times weekly per direction over the line.[citation needed]
