Public meetings will be held in Ascension and Livingston parishes next week to discuss the feasibility of building a new four-lane parkway and bridge across the Amite River, connecting the two parishes. The project would link access to three major roadways: U.S. 190, Interstate 10 and Interstate 12. Livingston Parish will host its public meeting Tuesday, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the Livingston Parish Health Unit, 29261 South Frost Road, in Livingston. Ascension Parish’s meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 20, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Lakeside Primary School, 16500 State Route 431, in Prairieville. The open house meetings will provide an overview of the proposed project, with parish officials and engineers on hand to answer questions. A toll road connecting the two parishes has previously been discussed by officials, who have said a preliminary study shows a $2-per-vehicle toll road could generate more than $5 million annually.
