Site work and paving for a road / highway in Covington, Louisiana. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

This project includes the feasibility evaluation of a new route from Slidell to Lacombe on the north side of 1-12 between Airport Rd. and LA434. The Draft 2017 Major Roads Plan identified the need for several major connector roadways, but specific routes and associated costs were not defined. This area in particular had multiple potential routings laid out as part of the Draft plan. Considering that the time for execution for a major roadway can take 7-10 years, the feasibility of the route selection and associated costs must be determined before a project can proceed forward. This feasibility review will also consider various routing options that provide sustainable use of rights-of-way, mitigation of flooding, and access to adjacent land. Funding request is for feasibility evaluation of the new project. Consultant services expected to be procured in 2024. This project is included in the Saint Tammany Parish's FY 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program. As of March 21, 2024, further details regarding firm construction and completion timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
