Summary
The Burgess Road Bridge in Denham Springs is stuck in a contract standoff—Guinn Construction won’t move equipment until penalties are dropped, threatening to keep the nearly finished bridge closed. Parish President Randy Delatte explains they tried months to resolve change orders, but contractors demanded no liquidated damages or they’d withhold opening. The bridge, funded by taxpayers and vital to daily life, is now a bargaining chip. Delatte insists it belongs to the people of Livingston Parish—not the contractor—and the priority is getting it open for the community that paid for it.
