La. 1 toll bridge ready for traffic

LEEVILLE, La. — The new two-mile Louisiana Highway 1 toll bridge over Bayou Lafourche in Leeville opens at 10:15 a.m. Tuesday, the first phase of a $1.4 billion project to build a 19-mile bridge from Golden Meadow to the Gulf of Mexico, replacing the existing, deteriorating road that floods even in low-level storms.

The joint venture of Traylor Bros/Massman Construction began construction on the project in 2007.
