Louisiana signs $6.8 million contract for SpaceX transportation planning

(The Center Square) – Louisiana has signed a contract allowing up to $6.8 million in state-funded payments to a New Orleans engineering firm for transportation work supporting SpaceX’s planned development in Vermilion Parish. The contract calls for Royal to help assess, design and oversee transportation improvements associated with SpaceX’s development. Services include evaluating roads and bridges, studying traffic, obtaining permits, coordinating utilities, assisting with property acquisition and overseeing construction. Louisiana Economic Development has said DOTD is evaluating transportation routes, road and bridge conditions, traffic impacts and potential improvements to Louisiana Highway 82.

It does not identify specific roads or bridges to be improved or establish a total infrastructure budget.
