Baton Rouge – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) announces that the Bayou Grosse Tete drawbridge along LA 77 in Iberville Parish is now fully operational and open to all marine and vehicular traffic with no restrictions. The bridge has been either shut down or operating on a curfew basis after a vessel collision occurred on June 6. After several months of repairs, the contractor, Coastal Contractors, LLC, performed some final equipment tests this morning, and all restrictions on the bridge are now lifted.
The department appreciates the public’s patience over the past few months while bridge parts were fabricated and repairs were being made.
Motorists can visit 511la.org for all traffic impacts and construction activity. Additionally, the DOTD ferry and movable bridge status website can be found here.
