Louisiana Bridges Need Work; Louisianans Do, Too

  
   

In Louisiana, 1,722 bridges are deficient—and more than 3.6 million vehicles cross those bridges every day. Meanwhile, 7.2 percent of Louisianans are jobless.

With so many Louisianans out of work, so many bridges and other pieces of critical infrastructure in need of work—and so much to do to keep America competitive in the 21st century—the solution is simple: Pass legislation that lets Louisianans get to work on critical infrastructure projects.

Tell your members of Congress: Louisianans are ready to get to work, starting with investing in our bridges, transit, rail, airports, highways, schools and the rest of our failing infrastructure.
