The ASCE New Orleans Branch will host its June Luncheon on June 16th, 2009 at Byblos Restaurant in New Orleans. The feature presentation will include a status update on the widening of the Huey P. Long Bridge. The meeting will also include the election of the New Orleans Branch Officers for the 2009-2010 year. The Huey P. Long Bridge Widening Project in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana is now underway. This four-phase project has been long-awaited by local communities and is vital to the recovery of the Greater New Orleans area. The first phase of the project began in April 2006 and the entire project will be complete in 2013.
The Huey P. Long Bridge was opened to traffic in 1935 and has served the New Orleans area residents and visitors in the same capacity for more than 72 years. This widening project will add an additional travel lane and inside and outside shoulders to each side of the bridge- providing a safer, more reliable Mississippi River crossing. Project Overview

Phase II: Railroad Modifications - began October 2006, completed June 2008
