(Slidell, LA) -- Officials are holding a ceremony to mark the beginning of construction on the I-10 bridge over Lake Pontchartrain today. The new bridge will replace the Katrina damaged Twin Spans between Slidell and New Orleans. Local, state and federal officials are participating in the groundbreaking. The new bridge will be taller and wider than the one heavily damaged by Katrina's storm surge. It will take three-years to complete the westbound span and another two-years to finish the eastbound bridge.
