Construction of the
James Audubon Bridge has begun just north of BR. This should really help to jump start additional development north of Baton Rouge towards St. Francisville and into New Roads.
The project, slated for completion in summer 2010, includes approximately 12 miles of roadway, and a 2.44-mile-long cable-stayed bridge across the river. The roadway will connect to The Scenic Highway, U.S. 61 in West Feliciana Parish, south of LA 966 and then connect to Louisiana Highway La1 in Pointe Coupee Parish, east of Hospital Road.
