Louisiana’s road-building agenda will suffer because a special program for 16 projects has gone bankrupt, state Transportation Secretary William Ankner said Thursday.
The chief problem stems from a series of 16 projects approved by voters in 1989, including construction of a $406 million bridge over the Mississippi River between New Roads and St. Francisville. It will be called the John James Audubon Bridge.
The package is known in government circles as TIMED, which stands for Transportation Infrastructure Model for Economic Development.
