This $51 million project will construct five dedicated ramps on the west side of the I-10/Causeway Boulevard interchange.
The new ramps being built during the project will include:
- An elevated on-ramp for drivers traveling south on Causeway from the Northshore and North Metairie to I-10 westbound that will tie into the existing ground-level I-10 westbound on-ramp
- An elevated on-ramp for drivers traveling south on Causeway from the Northshore and North Metairie to I-10 eastbound
- An elevated ramp for drivers traveling south on Causeway from Veterans to I-10 eastbound that will tie into the existing I-10 eastbound on-ramp
- A ground-level ramp for drivers traveling south on Causeway from Veterans to I-10 westbound
- Existing I-10 westbound off-ramp to southbound Causeway will be shifted slightly to make room for the new ramps
The existing ground-level southbound Causeway will be reconstructed and widened to make room for the new ramps. Drainage, sewer, water, phone and electrical lines will be relocated during this portion of the project.
