LAWTELL, LA –– The long-anticipated replacement of the bridge on Jessie B Road that crosses Bayou Mallet has reached its completion.
Construction on this project, which began in February of this year, was executed to remove the aging cross-drain pipe and to replace the bridge. The $1.2 Million project was made possible through the allocation of capital outlay funding from the state.
Parish Councilman Timmy Lejeune expressed his satisfaction with the project’s completion. “I am thrilled to see this project come to fruition,” Councilman Lejeune stated. “The people of District 11 have been waiting on this for quite some time now, and I am very appreciative that the funding was made available.”
This bridge construction project owes its success to the dedication of Parish President Jessie Bellard, Representative Dustin Miller, Representative Phillip Devillier, and Senator Gerald Boudreaux. Their tireless efforts played a pivotal role in securing these funds.
