Close to New Orleans Seminary

Here is a shot of a major break in the levy system near New Orleans. I am interested in this photo because as a former student of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, I think this is the bridge you cross right before you get to the seminary. If so, I am sure that beautiful campus is flooded. Does anybody know for sure?

Former NOBTS student as well. I don't believe that this is the bridge on Chef Menteur Highway. This is the bridge over the Industrial Canal in the Lower 9th Ward
From what I have been told by the admin here at SBTS, the damage was minimal until the levee broke. Now it appears that the damage is extensive and devastating. Classes were planned to resume on Sept. 7 (I believe), but now that seems unlikely. The words I was given to describe the damage is that "the campus is lost." Doesn't sound good.
