DOTD provides update on closed bridges in Terrebonne Parish
Monday, June 16, 2025 at 12:04:28 PM
New Orleans - The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) provides updated information on DOTD-maintained bridges currently closed in Terrebonne Parish.

DOTD only closes bridges when they are deemed unsafe for public use and promptly works on solutions to address any issues. Some repairs can be more complex, such as those resulting from barge strikes, due to structural concerns. Many community bridges are over 50 years old and feature moving parts that require specialized maintenance and fabrication.

DOTD recognizes the importance of bridge access and the inconvenience that closures can cause; however, the safety of drivers remains the top priority, and all federal guidelines must be followed.

The following are DOTD maintained bridges currently closed in Terrebonne Parish.

  • Boudreaux Canal Bridge/LA 56 (Opened 1959): The bridge was recently closed following an inspection that determined it was structurally deficient. Repairs are expected to be completed internally with the goal of reopening the bridge by the end of August. Additionally, plans are underway for a new replacement bridge, estimated to cost $30 million, which is scheduled to go out to bid next summer.
  • Daigleville Bridge/LA 24 to LA 659 (Opened in 2006): The bridge was closed in February due to mechanical and electrical deficiencies. It is currently being repaired under a $400,000 contract with C.E.C., Inc. The project is 87% complete and is expected to reopen in October of this year.
  • Bayou Blue Pontoon Bridge/LA 316 and Romero St. (1972): This bridge was closed after a barge collision on Thanksgiving Day of 2024. It is currently being repaired under a $600,000 contract with Reliant Industrial Solutions, LLC. The project is 25% complete and is expected to reopen by the end of August.
  • Company Canal Bridge/LA 24 at LA 316 (Opening in 2025): The Company Canal Bridge, originally built in 1951, is currently being replaced with a new bridge as part of a $30.4 million project with James Construction Group, LLC. This new bridge is scheduled to open at the end of June.
