Highway Priority Program

The Highway Priority Program is developed annually by DOTD and provided to the legislature and the public in accordance with La. R.S. 48:229.1 and La. R.S. 230. In compliance with these statutes, the Highway Priority Program identifies the projects that are scheduled for construction letting in the next state fiscal year and all projects being developed in the other stages.

 

In accordance with La. R.S. 231, public hearings are held each state fiscal year in each of the nine DOTD highway districts to provide a proposed program of construction for the coming fiscal year and to receive public input. After the public hearings, DOTD creates the final construction program for the coming fiscal year for submission to the legislature.
