It outlines the purpose of the roadway as a vital transportation facility that will connect the Louisiana International Terminal to the interstate highway system, serve as an alternative local traffic route, and function as an emergency evacuation route. The legislation grants the board of commissioners of the Port of New Orleans the authority to pursue public-private partnerships for the project's design, construction, operation, and maintenance, while also ensuring compliance with state and federal laws.

Additionally, the bill details the powers and duties of the board, including the ability to enter agreements with public and private entities, acquire necessary property, and accept funding from various sources. It establishes a framework for user fees and toll collection, ensuring that the roadway will be exempt from state taxation. The legislation emphasizes the importance of coordination with the Department of Transportation and Development and allows for the transfer of the roadway to the state highway system under mutually agreed terms. Overall, the bill aims to enhance transportation infrastructure in St. Bernard Parish while promoting public safety and economic development.
