© Provided by RADIO.COMAfter two arduous years of rebuilding, reconstruction, re-wiring, refitting, and delays, delays, delays the US-11 bridge is now set to reopen this Spring.
Over $28-Mln has been spent to renovate the 93-year old causeway.
What's been fixed? You name it.
The electrical system has been rebuilt, the mechanical system for the spans two drawbridges have been completely rebuilt.
Concrete work, structural repairs, roadway surfacing, all to get the nearly 5-mile span up to code and back in service.
'We will do everything we can to make sure it's completed as expeditiously as we can,' Scott Boyle, assistant district administrator of operations for DOTD's New Orleans District, told the Times-Picayune/New Orleans Advocate Friday.
Why so long? Specialized parts replication and refabricating took an enormous amount of time to put the lifting spans back into operation.
After that, COVID-19, and a hurricane season never seen before with six named storms putting the span in the cone of uncertainty.
This involved disassembling supports, lowering the spans from their upward positions and locking the roadways into place.
The result for the people who used the bridge and depend on business from the spans travelers?
Lost time, lost revenue, and inconvenience.

Beat The Bridge 2021
The 40th Annual 7 Mile Bridge Run will take place this year on April 17th as planned! The race, however, will only be open to those that were successfully registered (and were not disqualified for various reasons) for the 2020 run.
We understand that some registered 2020 runners may choose not to participate; however, there will be no deferments and no transfers. The seriousness of COVID-19 weighs heavily on our organization. The decisions made up to this point have been carefully vetted and not taken lightly.
These decisions have been based on our love for our community and knowing we would never act in a manner that would reflect poorly on those who have graciously supported us for the past 40 years including our runners, volunteers, staff, City of Marathon personnel, or event sponsors. You can trust we will make every effort to make this year’s run a safe and fun run. Details about registration, mitigating COVID controls and race details will be communicated via email to last year’s registered runners this week.
