Reminder: The Tchoupitoulas St. on-ramp to the west bank-bound CCC bridge will reopen to the public on Saturday, July 13, in the morning.

These traffic configurations will last through phase 2 of construction and allow contractors to run conduits on the inside section of the bridge.

Please see the schedule below:
  • Note: The US 90 east bank-bound bridge has already undergone adjustments to allow contractors to work under the bridge on the inside lanes. The barriers on the outside lane have been removed and added to the far left (inside) lane. Under these adjustments, the HOV lanes of the bridge have been reduced to one lane, as contractors now have access to the innermost lane.
  • The outside lane barriers on the US 90 west bank-bound bridge, which have been in place for the last two months, will be removed and placed on the inside (left) lane during four concurrent overnight sessions. The timeline is listed below. Please note these closures are only for the west bank-bound bridge.
