Twin Span Bridge Replacement Project

The Interstate 10 Twin Span Bridge across Lake Pontchartrain sustained serious damage from Hurricane Katrina.  Construction of a new $800 million replacement bridge is underway.

If you have questions or comments on the project, e-mail them to the construction team at twinspanbridge@volkert.com.
