Emergency vehicles can still access Black Bayou Pontoon Bridge while repairs continue at Grand Lake Pontoon Bridge – Calcasieu & Cameron Parishes

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces that it will make every effort available to ensure emergency vehicles have access across the Black Bayou Pontoon Bridge (Calcasieu Parish) while repair work continues at Grand Lake Pontoon Bridge (Cameron Parish).
Grand Lake Pontoon Bridge was closed to highway traffic on December 23, 2022, for repairs to the easternmost roadway approach apron. Crews are working seven days a week to get the bridge back in operation. The bridge remains open to marine traffic.
In the event that emergency repair work is required on the Black Bayou Pontoon Bridge (while the Grand Lake Pontoon Bridge closure is in effect) all efforts by DOTD will be made available to allow access across the Black Bayou Pontoon Bridge by emergency vehicles should the need arise.
Bridge operators are trained to prioritize emergency response vehicles.
