Causeway Interchange Project (Phase I)
State Proj. No.: 450-15-0100
Start date: April 2009
Finish date: December 2010
Cost: $35.6 million
Contractor: James Construction Group
This $35.6 million project will construct five dedicated ramps at the Causeway Boulevard interchange. This project will improve efficiency and safety at this heavily traveled interchange. Approximately 178,000 drivers use the interchange each day.
The new ramps being built during the project will include:
- An elevated on-ramp from northbound Causeway to I-10 westbound
- A ground level on-ramp from northbound Causeway to I-10 eastbound
- An off-ramp from I-10 westbound to ground level North Causeway and Veterans Boulevard
- An elevated off-ramp from I-10 westbound to northbound Causeway for drivers traveling to North Metairie and the North Shore
- An off-ramp from northbound Causeway to Veterans Boulevard
The existing ground level northbound Causeway will be reconstructed and widened to make room for the new ramps. Drainage, sewer, water, phone and electrical lines will be relocated during this portion of the project

- An elevated on-ramp for drivers traveling south on Causeway from the Northshore and North Metairie to I-10 eastbound
- An elevated ramp for drivers traveling south on Causeway from Veterans to I-10 eastbound that will tie into the existing I-10 eastbound on-ramp
- A ground-level ramp for drivers traveling south on Causeway from Veterans to I-10 westbound
- Existing I-10 westbound off-ramp to southbound Causeway will be shifted slightly to make room for the new ramps
The existing ground-level southbound Causeway will be reconstructed and widened to make room for the new ramps. Drainage, sewer, water, phone and electrical lines will be relocated during this portion of the project.
