More than $30 million of funding has been announced for protection of a key landbridge in the New Orlenads, Louisiana region. The project will use 86,807 cubic yards of geogrid mats weighing more than 217,000 tons to help protect the shoreline. Rather than buying this material, the project will use material from the twin spans, which was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina – resulting in $11 million in cost savings for the project.
