Terrebonne Parish, LA – The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announces the reopening of the LA 316/Bayou Blue Pontoon Bridge near Bourg, LA.
The bridge was closed in November 2024 after sustaining significant damage resulting from a vessel collision. Repairs included recasting the concrete of the bridge support mechanisms, as well as rehabilitating the apron assemblies, gate arms and electrical switches.
The Bayou Blue Pontoon Bridge spans the Intracoastal Waterway near the Terrebonne/Lafourche border along LA 316. Constructed in 1972, it is situated less than 2 miles from the recently opened $30.4 million LA 316/LA 24 Company Canal Bridge.
