Louisiana is poised to get hundreds of millions of dollars for stronger levees, flood walls, pumps and other projects to guard against hurricanes

The U.S. Senate is expected to consider this week three appropriations bills that have already cleared the House of Representatives. They include $356,523,193 in “earmarks” for 51 community projects in Louisiana.

That might pay for one or two more "feasibility studies" on new bridge placement in BR.
