The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD) is proposing to widen a portion of I-12 from Walker to Satsuma in Livingston Parish. The proposed construction would begin at the Walker interchange (LA 447) and proceed east, stopping approximately 0.5 miles west of the Satsuma interchange.  The proposed project would add one travel lane in each direction to the existing interstate within the median, bringing the total travel lanes to six. LADOTD will prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) to assess the potential environmental effects associated with the proposed project.  

 

The meeting will follow an open house format. A continuous presentation will be shown describing the propsed project, the potential environmental effects associated with the proposed project, and the environmental documentation process. Informational materials will be distributed and graphic displays will be available for viewing. Representatives from LADOTD will be at the open house to receive comments, answer questions, and discuss issues related to the project. Verbal comments will  be recorded at the meeting.

 

Written statements can be submitted at the meeting or mailed to the address shown below, postmarked within ten (10) days following the meeting.
