Shreveport Approves New Tollway Over Red River

Shreveport just approved a major new tollway over the Red River, connecting Caddo and Bossier parishes with an $115 million eight-mile stretch — tolls only on the bridge, free roads elsewhere. Plans have been brewing since 2020, with local governments and state DOT already on board, now just awaiting final Army Corps approval. But not everyone’s thrilled — nearby residents protested fears of neighborhood disruption, though their objections fell short. The project’s legal path remains slightly unclear, depending on developer submissions and city code interpretation, but with right-of-way cleared, construction looms. Keep watching — this could reshape the region. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
