Belle Chasse Bridge & Tunnel Project: Lane Closure Notice
Monday, July 01, 2024 at 8:36:00 AM
BELLE CHASSE, LA. - As part of our commitment to quality control, the Belle Chasse Bridge and Tunnel Replacement team regularly inspects and monitors all aspects of the project. Recently, we identified settlement under the new Belle Chasse Bridge approaches. While some ground settlements are expected in Louisiana due to the state’s unique geological and environmental conditions, this settlement exceeded our initial expectations.
To address this issue, we will be performing remediation work. We understand that this may delay project completion and affect traffic. Please don't worry; our team is dedicated to minimizing these delays and any inconvenience to the public. We will continue to provide regular updates as the remediation work progresses.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
The Belle Chasse Bridge and Tunnel Replacement Project announces the following scheduled construction activities and anticipated traffic impacts. As always, these anticipated impacts are weather-permitting and subject to potential changes.
