Port NOLA expedites LTI project

NEW ORLEANS – The Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA) Board of Commissioners passed two resolutions to expedite the St. Bernard Transportation Corridor, an elevated roadway for St. Bernard Parish to connect the $1.8B Louisiana International Terminal (LIT) to the I-510 interstate system.

The board unanimously passed a resolution reaffirming its commitment to the project, which would connect the future LIT in Violet with I-510 to create a new major artery in and out of St. Bernard Parish. 

Additionally, the board authorized Port NOLA’s President and CEO, Brandy Christian, to enter into a contract with global consulting firm WSP USA Inc. for consulting services to develop a public-private partnership strategy for the St. Bernard Transportation Corridor.

As part of this work, WSP will analyze potential financing structures, delivery methods, project governance, and stakeholder engagement. (Port NOLA 01/18/24) Port of New Orleans Hires Global Firm to Deliver St.… | Port NOLA
