BROUSSARD, La. (KLFY) — The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development is making significant progress on the Ambassador Caffery Interchange Project in Broussard, with the project now 80% complete and expected to finish by spring 2026.
The project, which began in late 2023, aims to upgrade U.S. 90 to future Interstate 49 South standards, transforming an eight-mile stretch into a six-lane corridor. This $136 million initiative is designed to improve freight movement, reduce congestion, and provide an alternate evacuation route for South Louisiana.
“We’ve actually made quite a bit of progress on this project,” said Diedra Druilhet, a spokesperson for the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. “We started work on the overpass over Ambassador Caffrey. We’ve done the turnarounds for the project. We’re doing frontage roads along that particular area.”…
