State Project No. H.001779.2
Route 511
Caddo and Bossier Parishes
Supplemental Environmental Assessment
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) will be conducting a public meeting in open house format for the above project. DOTD has proposed to upgrade a portion of Jimmie Davis Highway (LA 511) to improve the crossing of the Red River. The project area extends from East Dixie Meadow Road in Caddo Parish to Barksdale Boulevard (US 71) in Bossier Parish.
An Environmental Assessment (EA) was previously completed for the project and a Finding of No Significant Impact was issued July 2015. The purpose of the public meeting is to present a new proposed alternative to be considered in a Supplemental EA. The meeting will include a looping presentation that describes the project as well as stations with displays where attendees can speak informally with members of the project team. Comments and suggestions will be accepted from all interested parties to help ensure that the project team addresses the full range of environmental issues during the Supplemental EA study process. The public meeting is scheduled:
5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M.
Thursday, May 25, 2017
Barksdale Baptist Church
1714 Jimmie Davis Highway
Bossier City, LA 71112
All interested citizens are invited and encouraged to attend. Should anyone require special assistance due to a disability to participate at the public meeting, please
