To be replaced by new bridge in 2019
Personnel of Berard Transportation, New Iberia, moved the historic Oaklawn Bridge Tuesday to its new home on the Brittany’s Project/Saucier property on La. 87. The bridge was loaded onto a hydraulic cart, remotely controlled by an
engineer and slowly driven to rest on several stands on a concrete pad. The historic 1941 structure will be replaced by a modern, two-lane bridge, with construction estimated to be complete sometime in 2019.
