Today we begin “Bryan’s Blog,” a sort of laid back conversation on developments and progress of the John James Audubon Bridge project. Only five months into construction, there’s a lot going on. There’s a lot to talk about.
As spokesman for the project, I hope that I can provide you information on the very latest developments on the construction site and offer answers to your questions, comments and concerns. I’m here to put the project in perspective—in layman’s terms—so that you may get a true grasp of what’s happening and when.
The Audubon Bridge project is huge for the people of Pointe Coupee and West Feliciana parishes—especially those who travel across the Mississippi River on a daily basis—but equally as true for all Louisianans. Many people from around the globe also have their eyes set on this project. It’s impressive to speak on the phone and respond to emails from people who have never been to Louisiana, let alone New Roads or St. Francisville.
This is a record-breaking project. When complete, the Audubon Bridge will be the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America. That’s something to be proud of!
I’m looking forward to visiting with each of you. Communicating via the Internet remains a relatively new experience for many of us. In the world of blogs, I’m no different.
So, while this is completely new to me and possibly new to you, it will be an interesting and rewarding journey. Bring your questions and conversation. I’m excited and ready.
Let’s begin.
