La1

Toll collection started July 27 on the first phase of rebuilt southern Louisiana Route One (La1), a new fixedspan bridge over Bayou LaForche in Leeville, which was opened July 8.  The 22m, 73ft vertical clearance bridge is part of an eventual 30km, 19mi of largely elevated roadway to Port Fourchon/Grand Isle on the far southern end of the Mississippi delta.
