Property needed for new construction is generally acquired approximately one year prior to the construction project starting. If your property is impacted, you will be contacted by mail with all information concerning the impacts. You will then have the opportunity to meet with appraisers to further discuss the impacts.
Louisiana TIMED Managers has assembled a communications team to ensure the public is well-informed throughout the TIMED program. The public outreach team includes:
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 $4.9 billion improvement program includes widening 536 miles of state highways to four lanes on 11 project corridors, widening and/or new construction on three major bridges and improvements to both the Port of New Orleans and Louis Armstrong International Airport. The Program is designed to enhance economic development in Louisiana through an investment in transportation projects.
This website only details projects included in the TIMED Program. Check the Project Segment Details section to verify if the project of interest is a component of the TIMED Program. If not, information on DOTD state roadway construction projects can be found at http://www.dotd.la.gov/construction/. If the construction is on a parish or local road, please contact your local governing authority.
Louisiana TIMED Managers (LTM) serve as an extension of the Louisiana Department of Transportation & Development (LA DOTD). LTM is under contract to the LA DOTD to manage the TIMED Program in order to accelerate the completion of these projects. In addition to handling financial administration, LTM also performs project management, public outreach, right-of-way acquisition, utility construction, design consulting and construction oversight on some of the projects.
