H011137 & H011152 ROUTE: I-12 ST. TAMMANY PARISH The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) is conducting an open house public meeting for the proposed I-12 project from 1.2 miles west of the LA 21 interchange continuing eastward to LA 59 interchange in St. Tammany Parish. The project proposes to widen I-12 by the addition of one lane in each direction into the existing median; to overlay the existing lanes with asphalt; and to install concrete median protection. Some short sections that are sagging will be completely reconstructed with new pavement. The project will also include auxiliary lanes connecting Pinnacle Parkway across the Tchefuncte River to US 190, and the US 190 and LA 59 interchanges. The purpose of the meeting is to provide information about the project and to obtain input from interested parties. There will be a continuous multi-media presentation about the project. Additional project information will be available. Representatives from DOTD will be available at the open house to answer questions and discuss issues related to the project. Oral and written comments on the project can be submitted at the meeting. Comments can also be mailed to the DOTD address shown below, postmarked by August 9, 2017. The public meeting has been scheduled as follows: Thursday, July 27, 2017 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. St. Tammany Parish Council Chambers 21490 Koop Drive Mandeville, LA 70471 Should you require special assistance, due to a disability, to participate in this public meeting, please contact DOTD by mail at the address shown below, or by telephone at 225.242.4506, at least five working days prior to the meeting.

The Howard Hughes Corp., which took owner- ship of the mile-long property in 2010, will take another crack at the facility later this year when it invests $70 million to redevel- op it as an upscale urban retail outlet with entertainment and dining. The project will be one of the nation’s first outlet concepts in an urban center.
