Award of Merit, Transportation: LA 1 Improvements, Phase 1A Bridge
James Construction Group completed the LA 1 Improvements, Phase 1A Bridge Construction project that involved building a 40-ft-wide, two-lane bridge stretching 5.5 miles over Bayou Lafourche, replacing the formerly flood-prone section of the LA 1 corridor between Fourchon and Leeville.
As part of the $139-million project, the team built 24 temporary 65-ft-long trestle spans that were used to build the permanent bridge structure. The LA 1 Phase 1A project was completed without any lost-time incidents.
