  • Spn H.010571.2 – Purpose and Need
    SPN H.010571.2 – PURPOSE AND NEED 1.0 PURPOSE AND NEED 1.1 Description of the Proposed Project The proposed project is to construct a detour roadway on new alignment in response to concerns associated with potential roadway instability as a result of the Bayou Corne/Grand Bayou Sinkhole. While a long-term solution to the sinkhole situation is being developed, further subsidence or subsurface instability could result in an immediate need to close Louisiana Highway 70 (LA 70). Figure 1 demonstrates the approved logical termini and location of the project study area, which begins near Gumbo Street/LA 70 and terminates at Louisiana Highway 69 (LA 69) just south of the Crosstex facility. The LA 70 Detour Route is proposed to be constructed to Rural Arterial 1 classification, which allows for two 12-foot travel lanes, eight-foot shoulders, and a 50 mile per hour design speed. View of LA 70 looking west in front of Gator Gold Casino and Truck Stop. 1.2 Project Background The proposed project involves the construction of an emergency detour route off LA 70 in the vicinity of LA 69. An emergency detour route is proposed in the event the Bayou Corne/Grand Bayou Sinkhole located to the south of LA 70 threatens the integrity of the highway. There have been several past closures along LA 70 in or adjacent to the project area as a result of industrial and mining activities of the Napoleonville Salt Dome. The longest closure occurred on December 25, 2003 and lasted 1.5 months. Currently, when the road is closed residents must use one of the signed detour routes, one for passenger vehicles and one for truck traffic (see Figure 2).
