BATON ROUGE – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announced today that 20 projects around the state were let on December 8, 2021. Fifteen contractors presented apparent low bids totaling $60.4 million. All bids will be reviewed before being finalized.

“As 2021 winds down, we’re closing out the year with several more infrastructure improvements that will begin in the coming months,” said DOTD Secretary Shawn D. Wilson, Ph.D. “These projects cover a broad spectrum and include work like bridge replacements, paving, roundabout and sidewalk construction, and ferry maintenance. I do want to caution the public that due to the national supply chain issues and the economic response to unprecedented investment in infrastructure, we are seeing higher than normal bid prices, some of which may have to be rescaled and rebid to fit into the budget.”
