The public will get its first look at 15 possible crossings for a new bridge across the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge in the spring of 2022, officials said Monday.
The list is then set to be trimmed to three possible crossings by the summer of that year.
Officials of the state Department of Transportation and Development and Atlas Technical Consultants LLC, which has a $5 million contract to do preliminary work on the project, made the comments during a meeting of the Capital Area Road and Bridge District.
The seven-member panel is trying to find ways to finance a new bridge, which is expected to cost at least $1 billion.
