toll roads. There are currently over 100,000 tags in operation. To encourage use of the toll tags, the Crescent City Connection offered several benefits to commuters until 2013, including: Reduced Toll: $0.40 Dedicated Toll Tag lanes Use of HOV lanes when carrying Eastbank-bound traffic Use as a film setting As an iconic part of the city's skyline, the spans have been a favorite of movie production crews. The HOV lanes are frequently used for filming, as they are not heavily used and are separated from normal traffic by barrier walls. Both spans were briefly closed on April 9, 2006, to allow filming with stunts and pyrotechnics for the Denzel Washington film Déjà Vu. The HOV lanes were used to film a scene in 21 Jump Street when a truck loaded with chickens explodes. The spans also served as the anchor for the background in most of the outdoor scenes in the film A Love Song for Bobby Long. The spans have been used as a filming location for episodes of NCIS: New Orleans. The spans appeared on the finale of The Amazing Race 32 as the site of a task where contestants had to jump off one of the beams.
