Louisiana DOTD updates Jimmie Davis Bridge project
Have you seen the Jimmie Davis Bridge lately? Well, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has an update on the $361.7 million project . "The new bridge remains on track for completion in mid to late 2027, with the linear park estimated to be complete in 2028," Erin Buchanan, DOTD public information officer said.
