What We Do
Louisiana Bridge Builders (“LBB”) is designing and building the new I-10 Calcasieu River Bridge in Lake Charles, Louisiana (USA) for the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD). LBB will also be responsible for the 5.5 miles of reconstruction of interstate highway, various structures, ramps, and approaches between I-210 West End and Ryan Street. LBB will implement a ‘free flow’ toll and remove the existing bridge. The new infrastructure will be built with environmentally friendly construction techniques to minimize the impact on the Lake Charles area. The bridge, which is part of the I-10 interstate highway and is the largest project in the history of the LADOTD, will replace the 70-year-old existing crossing, dramatically increase capacity, reduce congestion, improve travel times, and increase safety for Louisiana, the wider national interstate highway network, and the 70,000+ cars and trucks that use it daily. The final design, intended to preserve and recognize the heritage of the historic bridge, will be determined in cooperation with the LADOTD and the local community.
