## Resource

Burgess Road Bridge in Livingston Parish is finally open after a tense standoff with the contractor—thanks to bold leadership and quick action by parish crews. Despite the contractor refusing to reopen the bridge over penalty disputes, parish officials prioritized public safety and mobility, deploying their own teams to install temporary striping and clear traffic. Parish President Randy Delatte stood firm, saying the bridge is safe and the community’s patience deserved a swift resolution. With contractor equipment still around, crews are ready to move anything blocking traffic. Residents are being thanked for their patience—and with temporary fixes in place, normal travel should be back soon.
