For those of you who live in or around New Roads, you may have noticed some significant moving going on at the Julien Poydras Building this week.
Since the May groundbreaking, the Design-Build team—Audubon Bridge Constructors—had temporarily setup shop on the second floor of the Poydras Building. For the last several months, construction teams have been renovating the old garment factory on Parent Street to house project staff until the project’s completion in 2010.
Well, the renovations are complete and the staff has now transitioned to their new and larger office
In addition to housing project staff, the large building will serve as a storage facility and fabrication shop for the bridge’s construction.
It is worth noting that Audubon Bridge Constructors purchased the building. In doing so, the Design-Build team has made a direct economic investment in the New Roads community and enhanced the neighborhood by bringing the once-abandoned eye sore to life again.
Located at 902 Parent Street, the office will be the chief location for submitting resumes and applying for jobs on the project.

The public outreach office, however, will remain in Suite 227 of the Julien Poydras Building. If you have questions about the project, want to receive print material, view construction photos or visit with staff, the outreach office is open each Tuesday from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
I look forward to visiting with you soon.
