TRANSPORTATION: Memorializes Congress to secure federal funding to remove four closed bridges on United States Highway 90 in St. Tammany Parish
Taken by the Clerk of the House and presented to the Secretary of State in accordance with the Rules of the House.
Summary
The concurrent resolution memorializes the U.S. Congress, requesting $10 million from the FY‑2027 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development appropriations to fund the removal of four aging bridges on U.S. Highway 90 in St. Tammany Parish. The closures, which began in May 2022, have disrupted commercial traffic, commuters, and hurricane‑evacuation routes for St. Tammany, Orleans and St. Bernard residents. Restoring the bridges is seen as the first step toward reconnecting the critical Gulf Coast corridor to Mississippi.
