House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Bayham seeks to memorialize the United States Congress to secure $10 million in federal funding for the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. This funding is intended for the removal of four closed bridges on United States Highway 90 in St. Tammany Parish, which were shut down in May 2022 due to structural integrity issues. The closure of these bridges has significantly impacted commercial, commuter, and hurricane evacuation routes for residents and businesses in St. Tammany, Orleans, and St. Bernard parishes.

The resolution emphasizes that removing these unsafe structures is a crucial first step toward reconnecting a vital segment of United States Highway 90, which links the New Orleans metropolitan area to Mississippi and the eastern Gulf Coast. The resolution calls for Congress to take necessary actions to facilitate this funding as part of the fiscal year 2027 Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development appropriations request. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the presiding officers of both the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States Congress, as well as to each member of the Louisiana congressional delegation.
