Belle Chasse Bridge
The replacement Belle Chasse Bridge on the West Bank of New Orleans in Plaquemines Parish. The new Belle Chasse Bridge replaces the moveable Belle Chasse Bridge and Belle Chasse Tunnel which are both over 50 years old. The new bridge is an all-electronic toll road that utilizes the existing GeauxPass tag system and Toll-By-Plate option. Both vehicles and marine traffic have more seamless commutes since the bridge does not lift to accommodate boats. Demolition of the existing bridge and tunnel is projected to be complete by 2026.

Calcasieu River Bridge
The new Calcasieu River Bridge in Lake Charles is expected to be completed by 2031. It will replace the current bridge and parts of the interstate, ramps, service roads, and utilities to make the travel corridor more efficient to navigate. The existing bridge was built in the early 1950s and predates the interstate system. It is narrow, lacks shoulders, and has steep approach grades. Once completed, the old bridge will be removed. The new bridge will utilize the existing GeauxPass toll system.
