General TIMED Program

What is TIMED?

The TIMED (Transportation Infrastructure Model for Economic Development) Program is the single largest transportation program in state history. The TIMED Program was created by Act 16 of the 1989 Louisiana Legislature and was voted for by the people. The $5.2 billion improvement program includes widening 536 miles of state highways to four lanes on 11 project corridors, widening and/or new construction on major bridges spanning the Mississippi River and improvements to both the Port of New Orleans and Louis Armstrong International Airport. The program is designed to enhance economic development and improve evacuation routes and safety through an investment in infrastructure and is managed by Louisiana TIMED Managers (LTM), a joint venture of GEC Inc., PB Americas Inc., and THE LPA GROUP INCORPORATED
