The Metairie Road Bridge crosses the 17th Street Canal and is on the most heavily traveled State Highway in Louisiana. This bridge replacement project required careful planning and complex design of approach roadway geometry to allow traffic to utilize a temporary canal crossing while the aesthetically enhanced four-lane replacement bridge was under construction. LH&J performed the planning, land surveying, engineering design and assisted the LADOTD during construction.
