Federal money from President Biden's trillion-dollar infrastructure bill is expected to enable
projects in Lake Charles. Republican Senator Bill Cassidy says nearly six-billion dollars is
coming to Louisiana for roads and bridges. Part of those funds can be used to replace the I-10
Calcasieu River Bridge in Lake Charles, along with other projects in southwest Louisiana.
Cassidy says another nine-million-dollars will cover repairs to the Calcasieu Ship Channel,
which was damaged by Hurricanes Laura and Delta.
