The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) is inviting the public to participate in the development of the Interstate 12 (I-12) Corridor Master Plan by taking part in a new online public survey.

The I-12 Corridor Master Plan will guide transportation investments along the corridor over the short-, mid-, and long-term. Through this planning effort, DOTD will evaluate existing conditions, identify future transportation needs, and develop strategies to address congestion, safety, and mobility along I-12.

To participate in shaping Louisiana’s transportation future, the survey can be accessed at bit.ly/3Sd95Js.

Louisiana citizens are encouraged to complete the survey and visit https://dotd.la.gov/about/office-of-project-delivery/planning/transportation-planning/i-12-corridor-master-plan for additional information.

Survey results will be used in the development of the Corridor Master Plan.

From our friends at Tangipahoa - Reshaping Attitudes for Community Change:

On this last day of Mental Health Awareness Month, we wanted to share some important phone numbers and websites that could help you or someone you know. Mental Health is just as important as your physical health, and it is okay to put your mental health first! 💚

Summertime is here and that means it is time for road work to kick off across Tangipahoa Parish.

Parish President Robby Miller said the parish will begin pavement preservation operations during the week of June 1.

In alternating years, the parish performs pavement preservation, a process by which high-traffic roadways are patched and sealed to extend the life of the road bed.

"The process has not only been effective in saving money for the parish, but it also allows Tangipahoa to stretch its road and bridge funds so that we can do more miles of overlay in alternating years,” Miller said.

Crews from Material Resources, Inc. will begin crack sealing and patching operations on the following roads during the week of June 1: Woodhaven Road, Randall Road, General Ott Road, Giluso Road, Booker II Road, North Thibodeaux Road, and Drude Road.

Motorists are asked to use alternate routes, if possible, while crews are working. Intermittent delays are possible during construction periods, and all work is weather-permitting.
