LA DOTD Florida Avenue Project
 
Purpose and Need for Project: The purpose of the project is to provide a reliable Florida Avenue connection from Elysian Fields Avenue to Paris Road, provide an optimal north-south connection from Florida Avenue to the Port of St. Bernard, and build a new roadway bridge over the IHNC adjacent to the existing Florida Avenue Bridge. The primary need for this project is improved connectivity between major roadways and interstate routes that will facilitate the movement of goods within the New Orleans metropolitan area and provide reliable vehicular crossing over the IHNC.
