Occasionally, because Bedico Creek Preserve is such a popular neighborhood on the northshore of Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans, Louisiana, we will have newspaper, magazine, and online articles and blogs written about our master-planned community. We feature these articles in our Press Room area. Also, we sometimes create press releases for special news and events that are happening at Bedico Creek Preserve. You can find all of this information, plus make media inquiries all right here in our Press Room.

St. Tammany residents are very familiar with traffic congestion in the parish. There is faster growth in St. Tammany Parish than the road capacity can handle, especially at major corridors like Interstate 12. In fact, residents have gone to social media about such issues. 
“Treat yourself like I-12 and never stop working on yourself, no matter how inconvenient it is to everyone else,” a poster quipped on one Facebook page devoted to the topic.
According to the state Department of Transportation and Development, they are in the second phase of the $187 million project of widening I-12. This includes 3 miles from Lousiana 21 to US 190 and along with that stretch, they will widen the bridge over the Tchefuncte River. The third phase will include from Louisiana 21 to Louisiana 1077 which will be bid on in July 2023. Sec. Shawn Wilson noted that it is taking a long time because the interstate work must be done in phases.
Along with the I-12 project, there are several other road construction projects happening in St. Tammany. One to note is the new 20-mile four-lane highway that will stretch between Lacombe to Bush. Another one is the new Bridge on US 190 over the Bogue Falaya River in Covington.
“These are very impactful projects to ease traffic and make it safer,” St. Tammany Parish President Mike Cooper said.
Over the next year, the DOTD will spend around $172 million on 22 projects in St. Tammany Parish. Another one to note is Louisiana 3241 which is funded by the 4-cent-per-gallon gasoline tax.
“It should have been here 30 years ago,” Wilson said of the highway that will run from the juncture of I-12 and Louisiana 434 in Lacombe north to Bush.
