Board of Commissioners Meeting Recap
The NLLD Board of Commissioners conducted its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, July 21, 2020.
Below are updates on NLLD levee and drainage projects
presented at the meeting.
Thibodaux-Lockport-Bayou Blue Project Area:
US 90 at Bayou Folse
The levee sections between and under the bridges over Bayou Folse on U.S. Highway 90 have been considerably lower than the adjacent earthen levees on either side of the bridges. The U.S. 90 at Bayou Folse Project will increase the height of the levee around the bridges on both sides of U.S. 90 and on both sides of Bayou Folse to provide greater flood protection.

Contractor Byron E Talbot has backfilled the channel and installed the culverts, The service road in the area has been closed to install the levee embankment, which will tie the levee into the bridge approaches. Crews have also started working on the east side of Bayou Folse.

Sealevel Construction, Inc. has completed the structural work and installed the new pumps, motors and discharge pipes for the improved Des Allemands FDA pump station. They have also worked on the pump station's enclosed building. The new pump has been tested and is running well.
