The Breakdown: St. Tammany Council pushes to prioritize US-90 bridge repairs in Louisiana
SUMMARY: After two years of waiting, the St. Tammany Parish Council has lost patience over the prolonged closure of US 990, which connects Louisiana and Mississippi. This stretch has been shut since May 2022 due to the deteriorating condition of four historic bridges. The closure has severely impacted local businesses, commutes, and increased traffic congestion on I-10. The Council passed a resolution urging state and federal authorities to expedite bridge removal and replacement, designating US 990 as an alternate hurricane evacuation route. The Department of Transportation cited high costs, leading to Council frustration over delays in reopening the road.
