UPCOMING CHANGE IN VENUE
Just a reminder that starting in April, GNOEA will be holding its breakfast meetings at Ralph’s on the Park. We will be there through the end of June.
PROGRAM
Today’s program featured speakers Bill Haensel, Stephen Spohrer, Shane Peck and Tim Todd, Gulf Engineers & Consultants speaking on the Huey P. Long widening project. The Huey P. Long Bridge Widening Project is a TIMED (Transportation Infrastructure Model for Economic Development) Program project. The TIMED Program was created by Act 16 of the 1989 Louisiana Legislature, was voted for by the people and is the single largest transportation program in state history. The Program is designed to enhance economic development in Louisiana through an investment in transportation projects. The $1.2 billion widening project started in April 2006 and is the first change to the structure since it opened in 1935. The project will expand the structure from two 9-foot lanes to three 11-foot lanes with a 2-foot inside shoulder and an 8-foot outside shoulder. It will also include new signalized intersections to replace the traffic circle at Jefferson Highway and Bridge City Avenue in Jefferson Parish, LA. GEC was established in 1986 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as a small engineering consulting firm. It has grown over the years into a firm of national prominence by assembling the talents of a large team of engineering, planning, economic, environmental, Geographic Information Systems, and automatic toll systems professionals. GEC’s success and growth is based on its reputation as a professional organization that provides complete and proficient services from planning to implementation of projects for private and public clients in all parts of the United States and overseas. We wish to thank Bill Haensel and his colleagues for speaking to our association.
