WASHINGTON (October 16, 2024) – U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) announced the Caddo-Bossier Parishes Port Commission will receive $22,595,853.00 for the Port of Caddo-Bossier I-69 Connector from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s INFRA grant program. The project will connect I-49 to the future I-69 Corridor Project Frontage Road by upgrading and extending Stonewall Frierson Road.
“Having reliable roads to connect our ports to the rest of the state is essential for doing business,” said Dr. Cassidy. “The Caddo-Bossier I-69 connector will be yet another reason companies choose to invest in North Louisiana and allow us to build an economy for 2050.”
Cassidy’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act increased the money available for the INFRA grant program, helping make this project possible.
