ROADS/HIGHWAYS: Urge and request the Department of Transportation and Development to conduct a review of public-private partnership contracting practices.

This legislative resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to review its public-private partnership practices by comparing the Belle Chasse Toll Bridge project with future infrastructure initiatives. The request stems from public concerns about toll fees and charges on the bridge, which led to a suspension of toll collections in October 2025. The department is required to study differences in contract terms, financial assumptions, and community impacts between the two projects and submit a report with these findings to state transportation committees by February 1, 2027.
