COVINGTON, La. – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces an update on the project to widen La. 21 from Bootlegger Road to 11th Avenue in St. Tammany Parish, a $16.8 million capacity improvement project.
Current activities include the following:
- Bridge crews demolishing the old bridge and prepping for the pile driving to begin for the new northbound bridge (this week.)
- Road crews working in the middle segment of La. 21, from 8th Avenue to 12th Avenue.
- Multiple drainage crews working day and night to install new subsurface drainage on the east side of La. 21, from the Tchefuncte River southward.
The current completion timeframe is spring 2017, which is subject to change pending weather, change orders and any additional work requests. DOTD project engineers continue to work with the contractor to maintain steady progress and complete construction as efficiently as possible.
