St. John the Baptist Parish – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently awarded a contract for stockpiling clay material, for the levee project, from the Bonnet Carrė Spillway.

Residents are expected to see an increased amount of trucks hauling materials from the Bonnet Carre Spillway, along Airline Highway, to Main Street to LA 628 to LA 3217 and back to Airline Highway during this time. Please use caution in these areas.

In addition, the Reserve Relief Boat Launch was recently approved as an access road for the project which will also require construction traffic in the future.
