According to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, the bridge spans the Intracoastal Waterway Gulf Outlet in New Orleans. The project involved the restoration and installation of the bridge’s structural steel components, as well as sandblasting and painting of the steel columns. The bridge was repainted in the original green color as it was when it opened in 1967.
DOTD officials said construction started in April 2023. Structural and painting jobs are finished, but contractors will be completing some electrical work related to navigational lights and aerial beacons.
The project was funded with an 80% federal and 20% state split. The federal portion was funded through the National Highway Performance Program while the state portion was paid through funds from the Highway Priority Program.
